It’s been a couple of weeks since we noticed that the mosquitoes have returned. They are still few and not very aggressive, not like in the middle of August, but we are beginning to remember how annoying they can be.

Before seeing ourselves with several bites on our bodies, we must equip ourselves. For this we have several products available on the market, from repellent bracelets to electric insect killer lamps. Faced with so many products on offer that promise to get rid of these insects, we wonder… Are they really effective?

Why do some people bite more than others? There are several reasons why some mosquitoes bite certain people more than others:

At El Comprador de La Vanguardia we have searched Amazon and have selected ten products that, according to their buyers, are effective repellents or mosquito killers.

This electronic indoor insect killer is the best seller on Amazon thanks to its great effectiveness. It has a long range of up to 25 meters and with its 2,800 volts it destroys insects immediately. It is a perfect tool for a large room such as a large living room, a business or it is even effective outdoors such as a terrace or a small garden.

It is safe for children and pets thanks to its exterior mesh, it can be hung and its maintenance is as simple as emptying the lower tray to remove dead insects.

It has a power of 11 W, which can effectively kill mosquitoes, moths, wasps, flies and even ants.

Without a doubt, one of the solutions most sought after by people to prevent mosquito bites are spirals. We recommend this pack of 10 spirals that will help you enjoy time in your garden, balcony or terrace without being attacked by mosquitoes. 

The spiral acts by combustion, releasing a pleasant citronella smell, protecting you from mosquitoes and other flying insects. It can protect up to a total of 15 square meters. 

Its combustion is slow and stable. 

Within the world of mosquito repellent bracelets, there are also tablet refills where the product that acts as a repellent is impregnated, as is the case with this 3 x 2 pack from the Parakito brand. 

The refills are made from a blend of 7 essential oils extracted from plants that protect against mosquitoes naturally. They are effective for 15 consecutive days per pill, there are models for adults and also for children, and they can be used by pregnant women and people susceptible to allergies or irritations, because it does not contain chemical substances and the pill does not come into contact with the skin.
