The monsoon season not only brings refreshing rains but also an influx of flies and mosquitoes. Here are five useful tips to help you keep mosquitoes and flies out of your house during the monsoon. 

Eliminate Standing Water

To stop mosquitoes from breeding, regularly empty and clean any water-collecting containers, such as flowerpots, birdbaths and buckets.

Use Screens and Nets

 Install fine mesh screens on windows and doors. To keep mosquitoes out and guarantee a restful night's sleep, cover your bed with mosquito nets.

Maintain Cleanliness

 Keep your surroundings clean by disposing of garbage properly and covering food items to avoid attracting flies.

Natural Repellent

Utilise natural insect repellents, such as neem oil, citronella candles and lavender plants, to effectively ward off mosquitoes and flies.

Insect Repellent Products

To establish a barrier of defence against these pests, use indoor insect repellent sprays and apply insect repellents to expose skin.
