   The total deaths in the world due to mosquito borne diseases is about 1 million / per year (WHO) and so has the commercial companies boomed who manufacture mosquito repelent creams , insence , coils , etc which have an annual turnover of more than  25000 crores alone in India.

    These coils , creams etc have negative effect on our health  in the long run , especially infants . Studies in Taiwan & China have confirmed that long use of smokes from these products causes cancer . The pesticide "pyrethrin " used by some manufacturers in coils are very harmful for human nerves and brain's health . Further more , Dr Salvi adds burning of a mosquito coil in a closed room is equal to smoking 100 cigarette !! Just imagine the potential damage that a coil can do .
    The babies , infants & children suffer the most as their  small lungs are unable to cope with these harmful gasses and get allergies/asthma  at a very young age if they inhale these smokes consistently .
     If you wake up in the morning tired , having headache and drizziness , blame the mosquito coils , liquid that you are using.
Solution : switch to organic coils / repellents / creams for a healthier life plus keeping the surrounding environment eco friendly or use some healthy home made solutions / remedies to keep mosquitoes at bay.

I use this method personally as it's 💯 % natural  to get rid of mosquitos from my room !! More so over you would also be safe from asthama , cancer , headaches , drizziness  that is cause by burning chemical based mosquito repellents like coil liquids etc

METHOD - 1

-Take a  empty mosquito  liquid refill vapouriser bottle (EMLRVB)
- Wash it with soap , the bottle and the carbon rod
 - Dry it
- Crush 4 camphor balls ( Kapoor / कपूर which is used in puja/aarti/festivals , don't  get confused with napthaline balls coz they r different & using them will harm you )
- Now fill 80%of the EMLRVB with neem oil
- Put the crushed powder of camphor balls and mix it with a thin stick/empty pen refill
- Now put it in the machine (like all-out/good night machine) , tighten it and use it as u use a mosquito repellant machine .

EFFICENCY & ECONOMY

 It's way more economical than the good night /all-out you buy . And if you know how to make neem oil at home , it's becomes more cheaper . It is 70 -80 % effective  compared to a commercial mosquito machine with 0 side effects . It will last for more than 8 months !!

MAINTAINCE
  Wash the carbon rod every month for best results .You can add 1-2 crushed kapoor in the remaining oil every month for best results

METHOD -2

Take a diya/ दिया /earthen burner/oil burner . Put mustard oil & neem oil in the ratio 4:1 . Burn it . This will help you to be safe from mosquito's in case of electricity cut . Or you can use it at places like balconies where there are mosquito's .

METHOD 3

If you are not allergic to neem oil , you can apply it on your body too
One more method is to boil neem leaves and tulsi for 6-8 mins in the ratio of 1:4 and sprinkle that water with the help of a sprayer at the corners of your room .

Another method keep 1 kapoor on every corner  of the room as it's smell irritates the mosquitoes . They can't stand this smell for long

ONIONS

Mosquitoes can't stand the smell of onions due to its sulphur content , even if it's present thinly in the air

METHOD 1

-Cut a medium size round layer from the middle of an onion
-remove the inner ring from the cut layer so that there is a hole in the middle
- Place it on the top of your mosquito repellent machine, the hole in the middle will allow the vapour from the machine  escape to the air without any problem
 -the top of the machine will get heated up and in turn vaporise onion juice and disperse it in the air
This method is for lazy people  but is effective

METHOD 2

-Cut a thin cardboard similar to the size of  mosquito repelent machine's upper size
- make a small round hole in the middle
-now grate an onion
 -put this pulp around the cardboard that you just cut
-now carefully place it on the top of the machine
 -change the pulp every 2-3 days .
    When it become dry , just add few drops of water on the pulp from all sides

METHOD 3
-grate a small onion in a bowl
-add 2 cups of filtered water and mix it
-strain this into a sprayer (you can use the remaining pulp in your vegetables )
-spray at the corners of your room or on the window panels

METHOD - 4
- Take 4-5 bay leaves
-Sprinkle some neem oil in which you had mixed crushed camphor powder
- Burn them
The smell from bay leaves will make mosquitoes go crazy and they will fly outta the room .

CONCLUSION

  Also use mosquito net when you sleep at night . Wear full sleeve loose clothing because the mosquitoe's sting won't reach you easily if you wear loose clothes. Make sure water drains are not water clogged because it's the place suitable for mosquitoes to lay eggs /breed.
