Choosing Among the Different Insect Repellents Available

Mosquitoes and other biting insects like sand fly, gnats, wasps etc are really annoying for us. The main reason is that their bites causes skin infection which may take days to heal. In fact mosquito bites often causes deadly diseases like Malaria, Dengue and many others which can be at times life threatening.

To combat the attack of these pests many Insect Repellents are manufactured. The repellent manufacturing companies also conduct research works to come up with better products that can easily keep away the annoying pests.
Many people are seen to use the deterring creams and sprays as they provide much effective results in warding off the insects. These deterrents are either made from chemicals like DEET or from natural ingredients. The DEET based repellents are very effective in keeping pests away through their pungent smell. The action of these products lasts for many hours. However for being a chemical its prolonged usage can be harmful for the people.

The natural mosquito ingredients are safer to use for being made from extracts of citronella, catnip, rosemary, lemon eucalyptus and many other plants. Like the DEET the natural repellents are also quite effective but they have to be applied on a regular basis. The pleasant smell of these products keeps the pests away as they cannot stand it.

Apart from these creams electronic repellent also work great in repelling and killing the insects. Mists, coils and citronella candles are also good at deterring the bugs.

Though many options are available people should always opt for the ones that are safe to use as well as provide great results.
