In the hot summer, people often seek coolness by taking evening walks downstairs to escape the heat, but mosquito bites can often trigger various discomforts. Therefore, here are some recommended mosquito repellent methods.

Evening Primrose Mosquito Repellent: Place the evening primrose under the sun during the day and in a cool, upwind location at night. This way, the fragrance of the evening primrose can make mosquitoes flee upon smelling it.

Mint Mosquito Repellent Method: Place some fresh mint leaves indoors; their unique cool scent can keep mosquitoes away. After a mosquito bite, rubbing the affected area with clean mint leaves can relieve itching and reduce swelling.

Used Tea Leaves Mosquito Repellent: Burn dried leftover tea leaves as incense to repel mosquitoes and flies.

Oral Vitamin B1 Mosquito Repellent: Take 20 mg of Vitamin B1 before bedtime. After entering the body, Vitamin B1 is excreted through sweat glands, producing a special odor that makes mosquitoes wary.

Topical Vitamin B1 Mosquito Repellent: Dissolve 3–5 Vitamin B1 tablets in water, then dip a sanitary cotton ball into the solution and wipe it on exposed skin. This can protect against mosquito bites for up to 2 days.

Natural Light Mosquito Repellent Method: Mosquitoes are active at night and are afraid of light, sound, and certain smells. When dusk falls, open the windows without turning on the lights, and mosquitoes will fly out from all corners.

Wear Light-colored Clothing: Mosquitoes are most attracted to black clothing. The likelihood of being bitten by mosquitoes is closely related to the color of the clothes you wear. Wearing light-colored clothing reduces the chance of mosquito bites.

It is best to avoid using perfume in summer. Generally, mosquitoes are attracted to floral nectar, so using perfumes, cosmetics, creams, or other floral-scented items increases the probability of mosquito bites. However, men's cologne, which often contains sandalwood scent, can actually help repel mosquitoes.
