By Phifer Mosquito Screens

Buzzz...! With the rising temperatures, it's not only the beautiful sunny days, but also the buzzing bloodsuckers. The entire face of the earth had no history of mankind without the coexistence of deadly diseases spread by mosquitoes. Malaria, Zika, West Nile Virus, or name anything under the sun, it's always the mosquitoes. Here are the five simple, non-toxic, natural ways to get rid of mosquitoes.

Physical Barriers: Clothing

Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect your skin. Flaunt your subtle sense of fashion.

Natural Repellents: Essential Oils

Lavender, Citronella, Eucalyptus, and lemongrass are natural mosquito repellents. Dilute any of these natural oils and apply them to your skin or use them in diffusers.

Plant basil, catnip, rosemary, and marigolds on the balcony or around your home. These are the best bug-repellent plants that can repel mosquitoes.

Natural Repellents: Plants

Fill a container with sugar and water, and then add yeast to the mixture. The carbon dioxide from the yeast will lure mosquitoes in, and they will drown in the liquid.
