No, thank you I hate beautiful things.

The warmer months bring killer barbecues, wonderful playlists and delicious cocktails, as well as a series of new trends to adopt. But on the other hand, small insects such as mosquitoes, bumblebees and-worst of all-mosquitoes also come out to play. They will bite you when you wander outside, they will follow your heels when you go hiking and heaven prohibits being trapped indoors and buzzing in your ears when you try to fall asleep! Use one (or more) of the following 15 best mosquito repellent products to do this.

Best for spraying on the lawn

There is nothing worse than having a barbecue in your yard on a beautiful summer day and then seeing the smiles of your guests turn into frowns because mosquitoes start to bite them. Spray this tried-and-tested mosquito repellent on your lawn and you can avoid these small pests for up to 12 weeks. Note: Although this spray is safe for pets, it is strongly recommended that pets (and people) stay away until the treatment area is properly ventilated and the product has solidified.

Best for handling terraces, decks and swimming pools

Mosquitoes like to hide in all your gathering places, but once you open it, this heat shield promises to provide a 15-foot protected area. It is powered by a fuel cartridge-which means there are no wires or bulky batteries and is easy to transport-it is equipped with three odorless insect repellent pads, so there will be no lingering chemical odors.

Best for repelling mosquitoes hiding in bushes, shrubs or other grassy areas

Using this atomization solution can not only get rid of the annoying mosquitoes, but also keep your green plants in their best condition. It is expected to kill mosquitoes that fall on the treated surface for up to eight hours, so you can hold a small event in the backyard knowing that you are completely covered. PS This sprayer is suitable for a wide range of pests-lice, flies, horse flies, etc.-but it is not suitable for pets, so please make sure that it does not come into contact with any domestic animals.

Best for indoor and outdoor

Whether it is rainy or sunny, indoor or outdoor, this vibrant zapper can be used wherever you place it. Equipped with a 15-watt light bulb to attract mosquitoes, you can install it on the wall, hang it from the ceiling or hang it on a tree branch. It also has a protective cage, so any villain or four-legged family member will not get hurt if it accidentally knocks it down.

When you just want to relax with a glass of wine and a good book in the backyard, just light one of these convenient incense sticks to repel mosquitoes. These incenses contain citronella oil, lemongrass, rosemary, cedarwood, and peppermint oil. They smell pleasant and only burn for two and a half hours (unlike other insect repellents, the smell can last for several days). They are also a good choice for those who want to eliminate bugs without using chemicals.

Best for killing mosquitoes in rain barrels, bird basins or stagnant water

Kill the mosquito eggs by dunking with these clever mosquitoes and kill the bloodthirsty bugs before they hatch. Made with BTI-a naturally occurring bacteria that is toxic to mosquito eggs-just soak one of them in any standing water and let it work (ie kill mosquito larvae). Don't worry, they are completely harmless to pets, birds and bees.

Best for camping, hiking and fishing

Friends who like outdoor activities, this one is for you: Greenerways insect spray is the perfect complement to your weekend in the woods. Designed for outdoor equipment (such as clothes, tents, backpacks, etc.), you don’t have to worry about buzzing when you spend the night in nature. Reward: It is an organic, non-GMO and pet-friendly product certified by the United States Department of Agriculture.

This plant-based spray made of lemongrass, cedar and citronella oil is specially designed for babies six months and older and is safe for your child’s delicate skin (no wonder it has more than 600 five-star reviews on Amazon ). The only downside is that you have to reapply this spray every 20 to 30 minutes because it absorbs quickly.

When summer comes, it is difficult to keep your child indoors. Between climbing trees, embossing flowers, and sprinkling games, mosquitoes and other bugs are sure to hinder all these outdoor activities. This DEET-free, GMO-free and non-irritating spray is "family-sized" and is ideal for fighting insect bites and keeping fun.

Now that you have determined that your human baby will not be bitten into pieces, you need to consider your furry baby. Use this insect repellent made of lemongrass oil and geraniol to wipe or spray pets. Cats and dogs 12 weeks or older will happily stay away from biting.

This is a good choice for people with particularly sensitive noses. Sawyer Products’ insect repellents are fragrance-free, but still provide long-lasting protection-14 hours to be precise-against mosquitoes, and come in both spray and lotion forms.

This spray not only contains lemongrass oil (a natural mosquito repellent), but also infused with vitamin E, purified water, glycerin and castor oil (all soothing ingredients). The smell of vanilla is just something that irritates your nostrils.

As the world opens up again, revenge travel will become a thing, which means you will need some travel necessities to take with you. Put this two-ounce portable lip balm from Murphy's Naturals in your cosmetic bag and you don't need to think about it anymore.

Best for hiking to deep forest

It is not effective against any terrible wild people (such as coyotes or bears) you may encounter, but this repellent can help repel mosquitoes and other small animals (such as ticks, biting flies, gnats and chiggers) you.

The best insect repellent spray with SPF

This spray has a dual effect, it is both an effective insect repellent spray and a protective sunscreen. Ideal for jogging, hiking and other light exercises on the beach in the early morning, it is also waterproof and sweatproof for at least 40 minutes, and can repel mosquitoes for more than four hours.
