Georgetown County, South Carolina is using a natural oil-based solution to kill mosquitoes. The solution, called "Mosquito Magician," is a blend of essential oils, including lemongrass, cedar, and rosemary. It is sprayed by mosquito control officials in areas where mosquitoes are a problem.
Mosquito Magician has been shown to be effective in killing mosquitoes and repelling them. It is also less harmful to the environment than traditional mosquito control products, which often contain chemicals that can pollute waterways and harm wildlife.
Georgetown County is the first county in South Carolina to use Mosquito Magician. The county has been using it since early 2023 and has seen a significant reduction in mosquito populations.
Other counties in South Carolina are considering using Mosquito Magician, and it is possible that it will become more widely used in the future.
Here are some of the essential oils that are known to be effective in deterring and killing mosquitoes:
- Citronella
- Lemongrass
- Eucalyptus
- Peppermint
- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Cedarwood
- Catnip
- Clove
- Geranium
These oils can be used in a variety of ways to keep mosquitoes away, including:
- Applying them to the skin as a repellent
- Burning them in a diffuser
- Adding them to a spray bottle of water and spraying the area around you
- Wearing a bracelet or necklace that contains the oil
It is important to note that essential oils are not 100% effective in repelling mosquitoes. They should be used in combination with other methods of mosquito control, such as wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing water around your home.
