15 best mosquito repellents

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

We are looking forward to the warmth to relax in nature, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the beauty of the spring forest. But one circumstance overshadows everything – this is the presence of mosquitoes, which also appear during this period. Not only their annoying buzzing annoys others. Insect bites are quite painful, and after them redness forms and unbearable itching appears. Special means will help protect against them not only outdoors, but also indoors.

Mosquito repellents are non-contact and individual. The former include traps, spirals and fumigators. Electronic devices do not contain any toxic substances, are safe for newborns, and therefore are very relevant for the protection of young children. The spirals are used outdoors. An unpleasant smell scares away insects, creating a conditional barrier. Fumigators are used with plates or liquid. They are plugged into an outlet and their effect lasts a very long time.

The second type is creams, sprays, lotions, pencils, aerosols and gels. They are applied directly to the skin, where a dense layer and a peculiar odor are formed, unpleasant for mosquitoes. It masks the natural scent of the skin of the body, so the insects lose interest in the object even more. The active substances of repellents can be both chemical and natural components.

What mosquito repellents are the most effective and at the same time safe for human health? The experts of our magazine tried to answer this question, presenting an overview of the best products for the protection against mosquitoes to date. The selection took into account the results of independent research and feedback from real users, which confirmed their positive qualities.
