Mosquito Repellent and Other Ways to Avoid Mosquitoes in India

Mosquitoes are something that every tourist in India might have to deal with when visiting this country. Aside from being pesky bugs, mosquitoes are also known for transmitting diseases. Naturally, you don’t want to fall ill during your vacation in India. Here are some tips to help you avoid getting sick from mosquitoes and other bugs.

Unsurprisingly, the best and easiest thing you can do to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes is to wear plenty of insect repellant whenever you are going outdoors or to any insect-infested area. There are many quality repellants that you can buy once you get to India but if you’re more comfortable using your trusty brand then just bring a bottle or two from home. Mosquitoes usually appear around dusk so be prepared even before dark falls. If it’s not too hot, you might also want to chance into pants or shirts with long sleeves to protect your arms and legs.

If you’re sleeping somewhere where you are at risk of getting bitten by mosquitoes while you sleep, you might want to invest in a mosquito net as well. Another alternative would be to buy one of those coils that you burn like incense. The smoke would drive mosquitoes away from the area.
