Protecting a child’s room from mosquitoes without insecticides

The most effective way to protect a child’s room from mosquitoes without insecticides is to cover the windows with a filter that mosquitoes and even smaller insects cannot get through. That way the window can stay open, with no need for plug-in repellents or sprays.

Protecting a child’s room from mosquitoes without insecticides

Short answer

You do not want to use insecticides and plug-in repellents for long in a closed room. Stopping mosquitoes at the window in the first place is the cleanest solution.

Why might an ordinary insect screen not be enough?

Old or torn mesh, gaps at the edges, and smaller insects such as sand flies can get through an ordinary insect screen. Mosquitoes and micro insects – we describe these tiny insects on that page.

Insecticide-free methods

Fit a window filter. When the edges sit fully on the hook-and-loop tape, there are no gaps.
Get rid of standing water. Plant pot saucers and water containers on the balcony breed mosquitoes.
Manage your evening lights. Bright lights indoors attract insects while the window is open.
Use a mosquito net. It can be an extra measure for the baby’s cot.

Conclusion

You can protect your child without chemicals. Because a window filter also holds back dust and pollen, it brings a double benefit in a child’s room.
