What is the best way to get rid of a few mosquitoes in your house with a 5 month old baby?
Question:
Answers:
Get a mosquito netting and make a canopy over your baby's bed/crib. You might be able to find the netting either at a top of the line department store Children's department or if not, try an Army Surplus store.
for the bites, try topical Benadryl solution.
In Wisconsin, where the mosquito is the state bird, I normally make a few rounds with the fly swatter, just after the kids go to bed, checking each room, knocking on the curtains and killing any mosquitos that I find.
Make sure your window screens are also maintained as a mosquito will find the smallest hole.
Skin So Soft by Avon will help keep the mosquitoes away from the baby and it won't hurt his skin. You might just try hunting them down with a fly swatter if you don't want to spray chemicals near your baby.
you can't do anything really about mosquitoes but you can get the off! spray, it works really good and is sensitive to a baby's skin
Try a fly strip. The sticky ones. and hang them by the only light on in the house at night. They will be drawn by the light and get stuck to the paper strip.
Mint oil or basil leaves around your home.
