Options worth comparing
Skin-applied cream or spray
Useful outdoors when the label permits the user’s age. Apply to adult hands before a child’s exposed skin; avoid hands, eyes and broken skin.
Mosquito net
Best chemical-free layer for cots, prams and sleep when fitted securely with airflow.
Electric liquid vaporiser
Convenient indoors; ventilate and follow the device label, especially around babies, asthma or pets.
What not to rely on
Ultrasonic gadgets, wristbands and stickers protect only if supported by reliable evidence and correct use. Smoke-producing coils can worsen indoor air quality. Remove stagnant water and combine barriers with an appropriate repellent.
FAQs
Is natural mosquito repellent automatically safer?
No. Essential oils can irritate skin and may provide shorter protection. Follow age and application directions.
Can repellent go under clothes?
Apply only as the label directs; skin repellents are generally for exposed skin, not covered areas.
