Mosquito spray - how to choose a reliable drug
In the summer, mosquito spray is in high demand. And this is no coincidence, since it is such drugs for protection against insects that are easy to use and at the same time quite effective. It is convenient to use the aerosol in nature, to take camping and to the country with you.
How to choose an aerosol?
All sprays work on the same principle: as a result of spraying, an aerosol cloud is formed, consisting of the smallest particles of the active substance, which has a repellent ability and repels mosquitoes.
There are two types of aerosols:
- water-based - after application, the drug dries quickly and works for 2-3 hours. He leaves no residue on clothing or body. Perform well in sunny weather, some require regular updates;
- oil-based - such products have a prolonged effect, since the special consistency does not allow the emulsion to dry quickly and evaporate. But at the same time, oil-based preparations are quite difficult to wash off from the skin. It is recommended to use them in high humidity or in rainy weather.
The active substance in aerosols can also be different. Some are based on diethyl phthalate or N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DETA) - a chemical that repels mosquitoes. Such funds are not allowed for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding and to protect children's skin.
Important! Chemical mosquito sprays are harmful because when sprayed, their small particles can penetrate the respiratory tract, causing a coughing fit, and if you have an allergy, suffocation!
Safe aerosols will contain only natural substances such as essential oils and plant extracts. Compared with chemicals, natural products will have a higher cost and it’s more difficult to find them on sale.
What to consider when choosing a mosquito spray:
- age category;
- the presence of allergic diseases;
- individual tolerance of the components of the drug.
In addition, always read the instructions carefully before use.
