- How to prevent mosquito bites? On a hot summer day, outdoor activities can be ruined by mosquitoes. These little guys can spoil every holiday, especially if you taste especially sweet! Research has proven that mosquitoes can rapidly learn and remember the smells of hosts, and that’s what makes some people more preferable than others. Bright Side found 8 natural yet super effective remedies to keep mosquitoes away from your body. Try them instead of reaching for more chemical sprays!
Did you know, for example, that mosquitoes just hate garlic smell? So one of the easiest ways to make sure that mosquitoes will never fly in your direction is to eat some garlic! When you consume at least one clove, garlic oil releases from your pores, creating a powerful barrier between your skin and mosquitoes.

SUMMARY:
- If you have mosquitoes at home, spray lavender oil in your bedroom or use any lavender-scented room freshener you can find.
- A study that was published in the Australian Journal of Entomology in 2010 showed that repellents which contain tea tree oil are exceptionally effective against mosquitoes.
- Even though the smell of vanilla is really pleasant to us, mosquitoes can't stand it. So, as always, all you have to do is make an all-natural vanilla spray.
- Black pepper protects your body from mosquitoes, flies, and other insects thanks to something called picaridin.
- Put water and apple cider vinegar in equal proportions in your spray bottle, spray on places where insects normally gather, and wait for the results.
- Whether you’re having a picnic outside or just want to get the mosquitoes out of your house for good, place a plate with soapy water nearby. After a few minutes, you'll notice mosquitoes getting trapped in the bubbles and drowning.
- Growing some mint in your garden can also be a good solution against mosquitoes, while also providing you with a healthy natural addition to your diet.
- If you don’t want to eat the stuff, you can also rub some garlic-scented lotion on your skin or use a garlic spray on your body, your home, or your yard.

Thank you going on my 7th bite in a month 😢

Another way to keep mosquitoes away is to cut the heads off of mosquitoes and put them on sticks (toothpicks work great) and surround yourself with them. This will tell all other mosquitoes that you're not one to be messed with.
Warning: this may backfire and start a war with the mosquitoes fighting back in revenge for their fellow comrades.

You’re funny 😆

When I Used Garlic Oil On My Skin,Mosquitos Did Go Away.....
So Did My Girlfriend.
That Dude lol

Thanks for the tips.

As an Aussie I can also confirm that putting Tea~Tree Oil on your skin it will stop mosquitoes, bed bugs and anything else from biting you too. Plus if you’ve already been bitten, it will help with the itch and/or infection. You’re welcome 🙏🏻🇦🇺
Thank you my friend,👍🏼 going to do it right now.
@@valnwk did it work?
@@meh-ej6tu It worked some, not as I was expecting.

I use Axe Body Spray. It does absolutely nothing against mosquitoes but it keeps me single everytime.
nunez670 WOW!! That could be sold as BIRTH CONTROL!!!
i use the same thing...expect with a lighter. This should keep you single...from mosquitoes. lol
Should've used TAG!
That's why female mosquitoes gets attracted towards you🤭🤭
Op bro😂🤣🤣
If you find tea tree too strong on its own, you can mix it with lavender oil and dilute it in a spray bottle. Tea tree and lavender actually go well together as scents.
planting geraniums, marigolds and lemongrass in your yard helps immensely. I've grown marigolds in abundance for years in our yard and we haven't had problems with mosquitos after they bloom. we also go around releasing the oils from the leaves before they bloom o release the oils in spring. I also have mint and lavender near my front door.
I feel like a gang of mosquitos is watching me while i am watchin this video
😂😂😂
They always watch what you do
Mosquitoes are watching you Like this. 😼😼😼😾😾😾😾
The gang be pulling up on you before you try this so they can finish you off while they have a chance💀

Freaking mosquitos where eating me alive. I'll give this a try.

Yup me too
I look like I got into a fight with 1000 archers using red markers for arrows 🤬
You should try anti insect spray’s that have DEET in it(N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) these work 100% against all insects.
RedGaming Studio don’t be that guy
I tried the garlic and it worked immediately. Also aloe vera gel is effective in soothing your skin after bites.
I've had good results with orange, clove, and cinnamon essential oils. And it smells good too.
Electric racket is so effective against mosquitoes 😀
MaxxxJo I'm not normally a sportsman but I do enjoy when I win against mosquitos ☺
Not at night when you’re sleeping 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah i used that too🤗🤗
I found out this was the best solution
I've been having too much fun with mine...it's just hard to go back to bed after all the sizzling 😁
I first discovered using garlic as a mosquito repellent when I lived and backpacked in Alaska 40 years ago. You can eat a clove, but its just as efficient to cook with garlic . You can also just take natural garlic tablets. The garlic goes into your blood stream, and comes out in your sweat and does not completely wash off, does not affect your natural scent except to all the bugs, it works on all bugs from ticks to flies and other insects. One garlic clove will last all day taken in the morning.
Here in India we use garlic everyday in cooking but mosquitoes still bites
@@kalpanaarora7214desi mosquito power
Tried garlic useless
Thank You Bright Side! Vital information! Helpful, educational, practical, economical, interesting too! So Important. Please keep these vitally informative videos coming!
I'm trying the apple cider + water right now! So far I've haven't had complaints
Is it really works how do you use it ?
Me :wearing a real lavender flower necklace while wearing garlic perfume chewing mint leaves having tea tree oil on my head carrying apple vinegar water sprayer in my hand....
People:what the heck is wrong with ya.

i'm giving you a thumbs up for including time stamps, more youtube creators should do this
mechaFoxs didn’t notice until I read your comment
Peppermint oil works as well, tested against Alaskan mosquitoes. Was outside for over an hour, aside from them flying around trying to find somewhere to land (which couldn't), didn't get bit once.
Who is here after biting?

My dad and one of guys from his guard unit, Doc, tried eating garlic. They both started eating at least one clove a day a couple of weeks before summer training. That year was a very wet year and the mosquitoes were insanely bad at the military base. It was summer, in the high 80s and 90s, soldiers were wearing military bug repellent, that stuff will eat your off, but it was having little effect. Soldiers were wearing full flack jackets, the heavy pants, gloves and face screens to get some relief from the mosquitoes, all except my dad and Doc. They were wearing shorts and T Shirts, and not being bit. There commander commented they were proof that garlic works, he also added that they could give away the platoons position by their smell. A couple of weeks in the summer sun with no shower made them very pungent, but the mosquitoes left them alone. I have tried to as well, it does work, but you can’t shower and you do smell like garlic gone bad.
Slow pony slow
And i will go to homedepot and buy some lavender plants ..thanks bright side
They also sell Citronella plants and they work wonders. If you have a bunch flying around, just place them near your doors or give them a shake and the fragrance will be released into the air. Works for me.
Shame on the mosquitoes for making me have to wake up this early in the morning😡😡😡😡
It's 2:12am and idk if I knew killed that one mosquito or not skksksks they're so annoying😡😡
I was sleeping and he woke me up (it's 6 am!!! and I am on summer break)
Almost 5 am for me 😡😡😡
Get a mosquito net to sleep under
😡🙂
literally a Mosquito lands on my screen as i'm watching this!!!
Garlic with tea tree oil will repell humans as well 😂😭 it would smell so strong and horrible.
lol
Haha
Mine is 100th 👍👍like to your comment
Nina Heim me too but last time i used a lot and my bf said I smelled like motor oil 😂😭😂😭
Yeah but I'd rather keep the mosquitos away
🤔I have found the most effective method to be to lock myself in my house between April and December. Very effective 😃
🤩👍
Genius
😉. Not fun but it works. Lol
Unlesd they are in your house. Like me ;-;
Pffff I haven’t been outside and I’m still getting mosquito bites 😒🤷🏻♀️
I've tried the vanilla and water as well as the dryer sheets. Neither work. I literally watched 5 of them descend on my ankles despite having all of the above plus Off spray on my body amd clothing. I'm a mosquito magnet!!!!
Thank you made my day,I don't want to harm them just keep them away,you helped me save many life's this spring,bless you.
And I just love garlic who had thought that it's repellent against mosquito,now I have excuse to eat it without my girlfriend complain about it,she will learn love garlic eventually when she see it's benefits,thank you.

Living Los Angeles this summer, none of my friends have been able to dine on the patio because the mosquitoes are so prevalent. These tips a very handy have. Thanks,
Eucalyptus is also great! When you use any essential oil be sure to use coconut oil,jojoba oil or any other types of oils with them. I always use eucalyptus oil and it works, I found that although lavender keeps the mosquitos away it attracts flies.
Cedar shavings- put them in a broadcast spreader and apply them to your yard
Living here in Florida on a canal that backs a nature preserve my yard is uninhabitable in the warm months. Thank you for this post 😘
Garlic capsuls & Vitamin B 12 taken daily helps too.
Whoever does the voice overs is in my very lucid dream narrating it. Thanks.
I use clove oil, but it's also great for numbing a cavity in your tooth.
Garlic keeps them away too. Pickled garlic is good!
They mentioned that
Perfect timing for the 4th of July! Thanks for this video.
Thanks. I'm going to try these simple remedies

@@R3UnionHD Hey, some people get information anyway they can ok?
Thank you You Tube
Thank U for this great video ! I live in Florida.👏👏👏
I buy dryer sheets that I can stand the smell of and tuck them in my socks, and/or couch cushions. I have an outdoor jacuzzi tub and when mosquitoes are present, I tuck dryer sheets around it and I never get bothered.
Also Irish spring soap cut up
What are dryer sheets?
I wish there were stats for each on how effective they are
Awesome and helpful video Bright side😍
after hiking in the woods at night and getting no less than 18 mosquito bites i needed this video also i am alergic to mosquitoes
Thank you so much! ,, my heart is content by just watching this. I hope one method of these would work with me and give me some comfort. and I sincerely just hope all kinds of curses would come to all the mosquitos all over the world! Amen
You will attract both not biting and biting bugs by using hairstyling products. Specially, in the bush and wooded area or forest! Example are mousse and hairspray etc.!
I try apple cider and water equal part work very well no more mosquitos around back yard when we outside! Thanks for a treat
Who is currently getting attacked by a mosquito
Me
Way cool. Thank you!!! I have heard that Vitamin B1 greatly helps. Like 500 mg. Take it and smell your hands after a bit. You can smell it through your pores.
You should almost never use essential oils directly on the skin as there are many, both short and long term harms that can result. Make sure to dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil like grapeseed oil to the correct proportions (can be found online), or look for products that are already diluted correctly.
I use a lot of lavender, it has a calming effect, but I use eucalyptus oil to ward off ticks, and it works well for mosquitoes too.
It actually works! I live in Florida and after getting bit a mosquitoe several times I went and got my tea tree oil I use for my hair and put it on my skin. Not only did the bumps go away in 15 mins..it wasn't itchy and the bumps went away. I didn't get bit anymore either thank you
Thanks for all these tips! We needed that. :D
I love you guys ♥️ the best information advice, as always 😍
Who's here after bitten by a mosquito?
😢😡😠🙋♀️
Me I have 3 big bites
Only one bite? Ur lucky
Lucky u. I have 36 bites 🙄
I scratched and bleeding 😭
informative,,, God Bless you..
Thank for the information!
Great tips, I also plant Lemongrass and take Vitamin B, rumors have it that they also help repel mosquitoes.
One thing I also used on my skin is the sunblock cream and it did really good effect 🤓👍🏼
Which one?
Your videos are so inspiring thank u so much ...
I’m gunna give a lot of these remedies a try
MINT should be planted in pots or it will overrun everything else(except maybe blackberry bushes) in your garden.
I am sorry..what do you mean by overrun?
@@hermarygarcia8049 It will spread and take over everything. I have mint trying to take over the world.
Highly invasive..
YES!! Many years ago a neighbor gave me a small plant from her mint. That dang stuff, GREW EVERYWHERE!!!!
Anyone else wished they tell which is the most effective ones instead trying them all?
Great ideas! Can’t wait to try some, especially on a few large planters where squeeterz like to gather- one by the front door - eek!!
My Tip: 💡 Increasing B1 intake during mosquito season has always helped keep those suckers away. (They sell B1 supplements at a fairly inexpensive price at the Wal*…) ❤️
~ j
Thank you. I'll try one of them or all of them.👍
Awesome! Thank you! Wendy🌸🐞🌷
Me: ahhhh ahhhhh mosquito: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING WHY ARE YOU RUNNING
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed so hard at this...thank you
😂😂😂
LOL
Loooooool!!
Tried Lemongrass oil spray ? Its magical
Who wants to try mixing all 8 ingredients in one to maximize the strength to spray the mosquitoes away?!
duuuuuuuuuude
Little Einstein.
...
That was what I was going to do!!!😂
I just did and made a candle in a small tin Gonna try it tonight!!!!!
Thanks for the info this information is very helpful
Bright side create the best life saving videos
You can also use garlic skin or peel in fire and allow it to smoke the mosquitoes will go away
Great info!
Really helped a lot specially the soap one
let me tell you something: I live in southeast Brazil (been here for over 5 years now). And I can tell you this about mosquitoes (at least the ones here): They can perceive when you look at them (YES, they know when you see or look at them) in a way that makes them back off and hide from you for a while until you look distracted again (that's when they try to bite you). They know when they are in danger, they will take cover somewhere they believe they are camouflaged. Mosquitoes are intelligent. As if they know when you turn the lights off, that you can't see them, but they can "see" you. They are happier and more active and confident in the dark because of that. It is as if they are possessed with intelligent evil spirits or are devil sent. No wonder they are pests and carry so many diseases killing thousands around the world!
What has worked for me is the mosquito electric racquet (zapper)!
I close my room's door and window and exterminate all remaining inside as they all come to me by attraction of the smell the body gives off naturally.
Aloan Moreira this is actually useful THANKYOU
I am convinced that flies operate in the same manner.
@@Gloriagal78 I agree with you 100%
Probably because when you look at them you're breathing in an out, and they're attracted to CO2 ?
I read that they are evolving that their sensors are becoming more aware
thanks ... it's good to know it now cuz we are having an epidemic crisis of
dengue in
Bangladesh.
Omg I'm in Bangladesh too, they've bitten me so bad
I REALLY LIKE THE FLAVORS OF THE VIDEO
how about putting lavender oil in a steamer will that work
You can use Lemongrass as well.
Citronella oil is good too. Put a few drops in all my suntan lotions, after sun and moisturisers.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
So helpful specially the soupy water
You can plant marigold flower too in garden,to avoid mosquitoes
i wonder if a marigold oil or spray then would work
@@sorrelmagpie3403 yes of course you can do that,beside to get rid them mosquitoes can be use as a scent
cool
Who has a mosquito in there room rn
I like the advice of putting tea tree oil after the bite.
This came in handy right now. It's mosquito season here in the Philippines and this helps a lot.
I feel youuuuu😆😆
When is mosquitoes season
for me, it is effective to put breeding buckets for mosquitoes and have aquarium fishes. Just visit these breeding containers every 3days and feed those larvae or wrigglers to the aquarium fishes. In this way mosquitoes will not look for other stagnant waters that are not in your control. This will eventually lessen their
multiplication.
If you put hand sanitizer on a mosquito bite it’ll make it stop itch and make it heal.
This really works. I have tried it.
Ok, thanks will use the hand sanitizer which is mostly alcohol
I’ve tried that as well. It does work‼️😍
Heat a spoon under hot water, then hold on bite till it cools. Will stop itch and welt disappears. Works every time for me.
I just put brown vinegar on the bites. Been doing this since I was a child in the 80s. Stops the bites from being itchy.
loved your video editing skill
Really amazing and hardworking
lavender worked thank you for sharing
I wish all those methods worked against politicians also...I don't see much difference between mosquitoes and politicians...they are equally a complete burden, annoying and very useless.
oOF
Great correlation!!! 🦟👨🏼. Yup!!!
Well mosquitoes have a niche and are part of ecosystems for a reason and those same ecosystems have the answer to problems caused by parasites within them... And a lot of politicians destroy ecosystems so I think the people are worse...
Try life without them and you'll be singing a different song very quickly.
hehehe
After being bit, I run a spoon under HOT water, then touch the back of the spoon on the bite. It burns for a second or two, then ur done. No more itch.
Bright side is the greatest❤️. The quality of the video and details shared in it is beyond Amazing. 31.8 million subscribers 😍. If only I could borrow some of it for my CZcams channel. It could have been life changing.
Thank you for information. ...
I drowned myself in tea tree oil today, mosquitoes turned me into fancy feast head to toe. Didn't work. :(
Empress Benedict 😂😂 Did it help with the bites though?
Empress, I hate tea tree oil anyway I probably wouldn't have used it but thanks for the heads up
Make a mix of everything on the video, put it in a spray bottle and use that on your skin lol. You could also eat a clove of garlic everyday for a week. I don't know exactly what I'm saying but it sounds like a good idea LOL
Did it help with the bites in anyway??
She's lying if she aint answering anyone's questions.
