Some experts pointed out that consumption We should choose these new mosquito control products carefully In the infant area of Tianhe City Yongwang supermarket, the reporter saw that all kinds of anti mosquito products for infants have been listed in succession The sales staff told the reporter that the anti mosquito products for infants can be used by adults are even better The reporter noticed that a brand named "xido" even has its own mosquito counter, which includes mosquito stickers The product advertised itself as "natural plant extract without anti mosquito repellent safety", and indicated that it could stick mosquito repellent stickers on collar, cuffs, trouser legs, table legs, bed edges and baby carriages When the reporter searched for the word "mosquito repellent" on Taobao, there were 11300 pieces of treasure, among which one mosquito repellent named "to plan" was the first mosquito repellent sold by Taobao for three consecutive years According to reports, the mosquito repellent patch uses natural anti mosquito plant extracts, including Eucalyptus essential oil, citronella essential oil, etc it can form a 24-hour anti mosquito protection circle with a diameter of 4-6m just by sticking it to any part of the clothes or near the human body The reporter saw that many mosquito repellent rings sold in supermarkets are also made of natural plant essential oil, the principle is similar to the mosquito repellent paste containing natural plant essential oil, but the mosquito repellent ring is a combination of natural plant essential oil and environmental protection synthetic leather to release the mosquito repellent odor, thus forming a mosquito repellent barrier Many mosquito repellent rings also boast that they can not only repel mosquitoes and kill bacteria, but also have therapeutic effects on rheumatism and migraine, which is related to the natural plant essential oil (citronella essential oil, Eucalyptus essential oil, etc.) they contain Application software mosquito repellent in almost everyone can not do without the network of modern society, anti mosquito products also began to advance with the times, not long ago someone developed a "silent mosquito free" mosquito repellent mobile application software It is said that after launching this application software, you can choose audio frequency mosquito repellent, light mosquito repellent, mosquito repellent timing and other functions, which can repel mosquitoes within a radius of 3 meters, so that users can avoid mosquito bites and are harmless to human body It is understood that the audio frequency mosquito repellent function of this mosquito repellent mobile app can create a noise environment that is hard for mosquitoes to bear and force them to escape;
