Every summer, this insect makes our life impossible. There are lots of products to keep it away, but here is the one that really works.
There are lots of ways to spot your presence. First there is this buzz near our ears that prevent us from sleeping. We recognize this noise right away and it can drive crazy. And then there are the bites. No doubt, it is the mosquito that comes to annoy us every summer. Why in this season? In winter, mosquitoes disappear, but real reality, they hibernate. Adults hide in dark corners, the little ones are waiting in the form of larvae, warm in the water. As soon as the thermometer climbs above 15 ° C, they go out and at more than 20 ° C, they are in great shape. Their reproduction rhythm accelerates under the effect of heat, knowing that a female already lays a hundred eggs every 12 days. Moreover, it is these ladies that bite, because the blood deducted is a source of essential proteins for the development of eggs. In a way, we contribute to our knowledge to their extension.
On the market, there are several products to protect themselves from it, but not all are effective. In the Special Envoy program, broadcast on June 12, 2025, journalists tested under the vigilant eye of the medical entomologist of the Eid Mediterranean, Grégory Lambert all that was presented as antimoustics and their verdict is final.
Most of the formulas are useless except the repellents containing deet, IR3535, icaridine and eucalyptus citrioDora. They have a disorienting action acting on the nervous system of insects, repelling them and disturbing them, which prevents them from locating their target: us. Double action, these assets camouflage the chemical signals of our body which attract mosquitoes as a magnet.
But beware, not all these ingredients are used in the same way. DEET, IR3535 and Icaridine are mainly present in skin sprays. They protect when you are outside, on a ride or on the terrace. They are very effective, but cannot be sprayed in the air. Only some IR3535 -based sprays can also be used inside, on curtains, mosquito nets or window frames. If you are looking for a solution to eliminate the mosquitoes from the house, you can also bet on eucalyptus citrioDora which is used in room sprays, electric diffusers or candles.
