Recently I was staying on the banks of the Elbe River across our border at the beginning of summer and I was surprised that there are no flies or mosquitoes anywhere. We had until advanced night when the door to the balcony was wide open and lit everywhere, but at best some kind of moth arrived, and this was still rare. Even while walking along the river at night or sitting in an outdoor pub, insects did not bother us. Did not know why some kind of city control spraying to wipe out all insects? Butterflies and bees were visible, but there were no annoying insects. Back home, the hard reality came again.

We live near the forest and enjoy the summer because there are streams and ponds nearby. In fact, I like our deciduous forests the most from autumn to spring. When the heat comes, it can only last. Even the nights sitting on the terrace on warm spring and summer nights turn into constant swiping and swiping.

Insect Repellents

*Doors and window nets
They\’re not great and they\’re a bit annoying to open and close all the time when you go out, but they work and are ideal protection against flies, moths and mosquitoes if you want to keep your windows open in the summer.
*Electric traps
Use ultraviolet light to lure insects and electrocute them. They are organic, but they can kill more insects than you like. It is suitable for staying at the cottage or on the terrace.
*Ultrasonic Repeller
Effective and ideal for sitting on a balcony or terrace. Against different types of insects, but they can care for some pets. Better quality also costs more money.
*Scented candles
A little romance does not harm, but its effect is doubtful or only works at a short distance.

It\’s not fun to spray chemicals on your skin or clothes and smell bad. Especially suitable for staying in nature when there is no rest.
