Mosquitoes are perennial problem in almost every part in India. They don’t leave you in peace and unleash horror on you when they suck up blood. Either you are tending to the bite areas and scratching all over or you are worrying if this will bring upon a bout of painful disease. The tropical warm climate is the home ground of mosquitoes and the only way you can keep yourself safe is by protecting yourself and your house from mosquitoes. Mortien Mosquito Repellent is a household name in India since 1993. They have proved time and again how they are with us in this fight against the perils of these insects.
When are mosquitoes active?
Contrary to the belief that mosquitoes are active only in the nights, they are in fact active all-round the day. The dengue mosquito, Aedes aegypti, bites only during the day whereas the female Anopheles – the malaria spreading mosquito – bites between 9pm and 5am. Most mosquitoes are highly active during dusk and dawn. Thus it is imperative that you protect yourself and your loved ones from mosquitoes all-round the clock and it doesn’t even matter if you are on the ground floor or high up on the tenth floor. Mortien Mosquito Repellent comes in handy to keep the blood suckers at bay.

How to maintain a safe environment around house?
While you are using Mortein Mosquito Repellent to get rid of these bug versions of vampires, you also need to keep in mind how you can maintain a mosquito free zone around your house.
- Puddle Free Surroundings – Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, remove stagnant water around the house so that mosquitoes don’t have place to breed in.
- Change water in collection pots – It is a misconception that mosquito breeds only in drain water or dirty water. Stagnant fresh water is equally a favorable place for mosquitoes so change bird baths, clean water collection pots and pans, maintain swimming pool well with disinfectant
- Plant mosquito repelling plants and herbs like citronella, garlic, basil, rosemary, peppermint – near areas which are prone to collect water.
- Clean your house frequently – A clean house is a difficult place for mosquitoes to be. Clean your house and surroundings, the garden, the lawns often so that you are destroying the potential breeding grounds
If you are a mosquito magnet, don’t worry, you can always use the varied Mortein Mosquito Repellent products and protect your family and loved ones.

I guess Mortein is the best coz good night basically encourages them more 😀
I’m originally from Malaysia and we had a ridiculous amount of mosquitoes! But now ever since I moved to the US I never get bit. The whole puddle/water thing was definitely why I always got bit (monsoons!)
Wow, I will have to try this stuff. Mosquitoes are terrible here in texas
such an helpful post, now all around the year! Thanks for penning it down, have bookmarked:)
I hate mosquitoes and this time a year around us we always have issues with them around my home. I have never heard of this product but it sounds great. I need to see if I can find this around us.
This is the mosquitoes season.. Correct post in correct time. Very helpful..Thanq Tina

I’ve searched high and low for a product that wards off mosquitoes and finally came across a product that works so well. Before using it I didn’t want to be in my backyard because the mosquitos were eating me alive.
Never heard of this brand, but ANYTHING to keep mosquitoes at bay is great in my book! I’m from originally from Florida where mosquitos bites are as prevalent as palm trees!
Mosquitoes are definitely a nuisance and any product that keeps them at bay is a great thing! I grew up in Florida where mosquito bites god hand in hand with popsicles and palm trees!
Oh I have not seen that brand before. I live in the UAE so I wonder if its available. I am going to Phillipines soon so I need a good repellent!
Great article Tina.. with so many mosquito-borne diseases that seem to make people fall ill every year, this happens to be quite informative and I am sure very useful..
Such great tips! They are not as bad around my house but around my parents house since they live closer to the coast. They were always the worst after it rained.
So true, the mosquito net fitted in all our windows and doors still don’t stop them from swarming in. The fear of catching the diseases is always there. Thanks for sharing the information, we simply can’t make do without a mosquito repellent these days.
Such Pesky monsters ! Yet I prefer to use minimal chemicals and natural methods of avoiding mosquitoes .
My way of looking at them is little different from others. For me, they aren’t the bloody blood suckers but the females who are ready to sacrifice their lives to cherish the feeling of motherhood. Only female mosquitoes bite. They need blood to produce their offspring.
Well, it’s really a kind of Dharma-sankat but when there’s a choice between my children and mosquitoes, I’ll prefer the lives of mine over theirs.
And thanks for suggesting the names of mosquito repelling plants along with Mortein description. Liked the mosquito pic as well. 🙂
thank you Ravish – yes ill choose myself and my family over mosquitoes anyday!
I didn`t know that there are so many products to fight the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes that we have here are not so dangerous but they are so annoying in the morning and they always wake me up.
Very detailed and informative article. Mosquitoes are dangerous and they should be tackled as a precaution.
No doubt, Mortein has a great mosquito repellent. Many of my friends use it and also have told me that it is very effective but having an Infant at home we do not use it.
Very useful information for this season great article,thanks to tina…!such an wonderful post.
This is very helpful for those who are having troubles with mosquitos. Thank you for sharing this article. 🙂
It’s a useful information and every parent should have it for taking care of their baby. Thanks for sharing this article!
