It is not the first time that I approach the subject of the fight against mosquitoes, because I lead this infernal fight against them for years ( whatever Aymeric Caron )

is miles away (my friends call me their natural mosquito repellent). And on top of that, my skin has disproportionate reactions to their bite.
I am frightened to see that each year the tiger mosquito gains ground and invades more and more France each year. In Ile-de-France, we are still quite ... but until when? In the South, the first time I saw them, they attacked me in the middle of the day while I was swimming in a swimming pool. The shoulder punches out of the water: hop they went on the offensive!
Besides, mosquitoes are vectors of diseases, and diseases spread by the Tiger Mosquito are progressing in France.
So no, I won't let mosquito moms pump my blood to feed their baby mosquitoes.

I have implemented strategies. I have adopted good habits: in the spring, I inspect the garden and the surroundings, and empty any container of standing water.
Then I use different products, I present to you those that have proven to be the most effective on me.

Anti-mosquito racket 
This is my number 1 weapon.
I even have 2, so we can have fun playing tennis as a couple at 1 am when in the heat wave the windows are wide open and the invasion of mosquitoes arrives.

The advantage? We do not disgust the walls by bursting a mosquito full of blood on it.
It is clean and neat. Mosquitoes are electrocuted as soon as they touch the mesh under tension. It is very very satisfying.
Para'Kito

Para'Kito products contain botanical active ingredients and offer 2 modes of protection. The pads that fit into the bracelets and mask our odors. Then sprays and roll-ons to protect nearby.
The formulations are alcohol-free (irritant, drying of the skin) and surfactant (solubilization and disorganization of the lipids of the epidermis, increased penetration into the skin, and potential skin irritant).
The mosquito repellent bracelet
I had heard of mosquito repellent bracelets which had not in the past a very good reputation (especially the famous ultrasonic bracelets which prove to be totally ineffective). So
I was a little skeptical when I tested the Para'Kito bracelet, received last year.
Well, a very good surprise! It is effective, clear. They come in the form of bracelets that scratch and in which we slide a plate.

There are several looks of bracelets and the “Party edition” is very successful, all in gold and black tones. The one I have is the Miami, with palm trees on it.
Platelets contain essential oils (which are not in contact with the skin) and release volatile components which will mask our odors.
Suddenly, the plate smells strong enough, but if it is surprising at the start, it is not at all unpleasant.
Result? I think it was the year I got the least biting. Even walking my dog in the woods at nightfall and wearing the bracelet without any other protection. I am the first surprise but yes, it is effective not to be spotted. In the first intention, the bracelet is really not bad, even if it requires a complement for protection of proximity. Basically, the bracelet will act as a Cloak of Invisibility, but only up to a point.
Questions and answers about the use of the mosquito repellent bracelet
Some questions I asked the brands:
- Is it advisable to wear only one or 2 (for example wrist/ankle)? The bracelet hides our presence from mosquitoes (masks the CO2 released). You can wear only one bracelet but it is advisable to associate it with a Spray
- Is the bracelet self-sufficient or does it complement a mosquito repellent? The bracelet only masks our presence, this is why it is advisable to associate it with one of the two Sprays.
- How often do you recommend changing the pads? It is advisable to change the pack every 15 days.
- How to use the product for babies and pregnant women? For babies (under 3 years old), the bracelet can be used nearby but must not be within their reach (on the bedside table for example, or hung on the stroller). Ditto for pregnant women. On the other hand, Family Spray is suitable for pregnant women and children from 6 months.
If mosquitoes have already spotted you, you have to go on the offensive. The brand offers a mosquito repellent spray.
Anti-Mosquito Spray and Roll-on
Spray and Roll-on provide proximity protection.
The active ingredient in Para'Kito sprays is Citrepel®, an effective botanical active ingredient, which is a natural derivative of lemongrass essential oil from Java.
Odor wise, yes, you can smell lemongrass.
I find the format of the spray super practical, and the Tropics version provides protection for 10 hours against the tiger mosquito, up to 6 hours against anopheles (carrier of malaria), and 7 hours against ticks. It is suitable for adults
and children from 36 months (but not for pregnant or lactating women).
and children from 36 months (but not for pregnant or lactating women).
The roll-on is super practical to take everywhere thanks to its mini pocket size. It contains a gel for a rapid and targeted application: a few strokes are enough to diffuse the active ingredient. I always put it on my ankles (my weak point). He doesn't leave my backpack when I go out on the road. It provides up to 5 hours of protection and has been tested against the tiger mosquito.
Relieve mosquito bites
Despite all our efforts, there are times when an ugly mosquito gets its way. in this case, it is necessary to relieve the bite because it itches … and the more you scratch, the more it ignites. And the more it scratches and the more… In short, it's a vicious circle.
Para'Kito offers a small after-bite roll-on that relieves itching.
The mini-format is very practical, essential oils relieve in most people (I know many who are super satisfied around me).
But if like me you have a really responsive terrain it will not be enough.
What works for me is this:
