6. Use Smoke
Research suggests that smoke-based mosquito repellents, such as plant-based coils, incense, and fire pits, can help reduce mosquito activity by interfering with the sensory cues that mosquitoes use to locate humans.
Studies have found that smoke from burning repellent plants or citronella-based products can lower mosquito density and biting activity in outdoor settings, likely by masking carbon dioxide and body odors or creating conditions that mosquitoes avoid.
Evidence also shows that these methods work best in open or semioutdoor areas, and they may be more effective when combined with airflow, such as a breeze or fan, which further disrupts mosquitos’ flight and host-seeking behavior.
