Mosquito Remedies and Prevention Tips From Dr Evans
Dr Evans summarizes household measures to deter mosquitoes in Chicago. He recommends citronella mixtures, camphor, cedar oils, and vaseline for bites, plus soap or ammonia for itching. Screens should have 20 mesh, with cracks patched. avoid gaps around frames. Use kerosene-dipped traps, maintain water-free breeding grounds, and keep fish in pools to suppress larvae. Mosquitoes rarely travel far and respond to wind, urging removal of breeding sites within 500 feet.
