Killing a mosquito fast
There are several ways to kill mosquitoes:
Use mosquito repellent: Apply a mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing.
Use mosquito coils or vaporizer: Mosquito coils and vaporizers release a chemical that repels or kills mosquitoes.
Use an electric mosquito killer: Electric mosquito killers release UV light that attracts mosquitoes, which are then trapped or killed by an electric current.
Use a fan: Mosquitoes are not strong fliers and a fan can create enough wind to make it difficult for them to fly.
Kill them manually: You can use your hand or a piece of paper to physically crush a mosquito.
Use mosquito traps: These are devices that mimic the scent, sound, or heat of a human and attract mosquitoes to a sticky or electrified surface where they get trapped or killed.
It is important to remember that mosquitoes breed in standing water, so reducing the amount of standing water around your home can also help to reduce the number of mosquitoes.
