Mosquito / Insects Bites

[sheryl]

Hi Mummies & Daddies,

Anyone has ways or means to prevent or reduce mozzies at home? I bought those anti mozzie gel from NTUC to put them in my children rooms & living rooms. But still bitten by them. Pls share what is the best way or products which you have used.

The best way is to put mosquito net on the windows. It not only prevent mozzie but also pest frm entering.

Method 1 : buy fr DIY store n use tape to tape ard the window ( used to just leave a panel of window open about 45degree n leave it open permanently)
Method 2 : engage professional to install mosquito net roller ... V easy to use when opening n closing window but costly.

So far my home is quite mozzie proof with the mosquito net on the windows

i did few things when got mozz attacks:


- call up town council and NEA and hound them, so that they will do work and check. usually will find (and then destroy) breeding source, but will take a few days for the adults to die.

- day time just before go work, spray the house after closing windows, and hope that any mozz hiding in the house will not survive.

- meantime use those electric repellant when sleep. but one room needs one…

- when awake, ask everyone to be alert. if see mozz, alert me and i’ll try to whack it…

Dear parents,


Im a newbie here.
Hopefully i can learnt something from all the parents here.
My daughter is very prompt to mosquitoes’ bites. & results in scars as she always tend to scratch them. Seriously looking for solution.
IS there any cream or stuff which can lightened the scars and hopefully cleared scars of. Preferred organic ones…
Thanks…

Did you try the pure Aloe Vera gel? Works on my DD. Ease the itch upon application.

there is a perscription required cream called combiderm, that is quite effective. But it contains steriods thus not advisable for prolonged use.

and you may want to consider using anti-mosquitoes patch on her clothings and her bed to help prevent new bites.

Bao Fu Ling is pretty effective (cream form). Heard not available in chinese medical halls though I haven’t try asking ard. Got mine when visited Shanghai and SIL shared it is pretty good esp for mosqitoe bites.

My gal hates mosquito patches due to the strong smell…

I am selling Magnetic Insect Screen DIY Kit that can prevent mosquito & other insects by installing a mesh on the window. It's not expensive but you'll have to Do-It-Yourself.
