The Spring season means mosquitos season in our southern state, Louisian. Higher temperatures make them so active.

We are struggling to mow the lawn, and it seems our neighbors are having the same trouble.
It is because we are breathing and swallowing these small critters at our backyard or outdoors.
When open the front door, the mosquitoes attack our eyes and about 5 to 10 of them comes into house.
The fact makes me surprising that female mosquitoes store sperm from a single mating and use it to fertilize eggs throughout their lifespan.

A female mosquito can lay between 50 and 500 eggs in her first batch. While subsequent batches may have fewer eggs, a single female can produce up to 10 batches throughout her life. Her lifespan can reach up to 5 months.

Flies are attracted to the carbon dioxide in our breath, or that of any other animal. A few drops of lemon oil on the back of the neck and chest could help.
ReplyDeleteI see.....

ReplyDeleteHaven't bothered with them at all for several years because I put a lemon plants everywhere . Once wrote about it on 1 of my 2 websites. Here this link: which you may also delete if you don't want this on your blog. Pretty sure if you buy this somewhere and put it everywhere you won't be bothered by mosquitoes. https://catherinetine.blogspot.com/2021/08/citroengeranium-de-plant-om-muggen-weg.html
In fact, lemon is known for its mosquito repellent gift, so whether you choose lemon balm, a lemon geranium or lemongrass, the effect remains the same. Mosquitoes prefer to stay far away and you have the fresh scent around you protecting you from these stinging critters. Also wrote a funny poem once and it is this one: https://tinedejong.blogspot.com/2017/06/Zomerkriebels-van-muggen.html
Great info .....
