You have to be very cautious with mosquitoes because sometimes they may carry viruses that you do not want to get such as the West Nile Virus. Mosquitoes not only affect yourself but if you have pets, they are also affected by mosquitoes.
Protect Yourself
When the warm months of the year arrive in Ottawa, the abundant greenery provides many areas for mosquitoes to shade themselves until dusk when they spread out looking for food. Activities that need to be enjoyed outdoors make people especially susceptible to bites and other inconveniences like being swarmed by clouds of mosquitos.
Mosquito bites can be very itchy and annoying and some people really swell up from a mosquito bite. Mosquito bites may also cause scarring of the skin because you may scratch it so hard that your skin breaks. A bit may even cause a reoccurring rash because when your skin heals, it may feel itchy again and you may once again, break the skin and this increases the chance of getting scars which are hard to get rid of.
Keep Mosquitoes Away
Home remedies for getting rid of mosquitoes are quite common. They say burning wood is effective. Hanging around the campfire works and keeps you safe although when you walk away from the smoke, you are likely to get attacked by some mosquitoes. At holiday resorts in Cuba, they smoke the area every evening to ensure that they get rid of the mosquitoes each night. It works to moderately control the mosquitoes at the resort and makes it a better stay for the occupants.
There is a mosquito plant that you can get to help repel the mosquitos. It gives off a lemon scent and it is a Geranium. If you do not mind the scent of lemon, try it out to see if it works. Red cedar mulch and chips may work if you want to make your yard look a bit nicer. They would have to have a strong scent and you can even brew them and spray the liquid in your yard and in the garden. If you have water where the mosquitoes hang around, you can put coffee grounds in the water and this may help prevent any new eggs from hatching.
