Caption: Insect repellent: Four common application mistakes. Bite prevention Howard Carter has highlighted four common insect repellent mistakes that can leave you open to bites and diseases. Not buying it in advance If you are going to a tropical country, buy your insect repellent before you go. ”Many countries don't stock effective insect repellents. Don't risk it - buy your protection in advance to ensure you have something reliable. Stock up on a good-quality mosquito repellent." Bite prevention expert Howard Carter. Not covering up Even if you have applied insect repellent, it is important to cover up to avoid bug bites. Howard recommends wearing long sleeves and trousers in light shades, as mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours. Forgetting about fragrances Mosquitoes are attracted to certain smells. ”Those lovely scents in your cosmetics are like a mosquito magnet. Switch to unscented products and opt for a citrus-aromatic hair and body wash." Bite prevention expert Howard Carter. Skipping the reapplication Don’t forget to reapply your insect repellent. Howard says that you should reapply your repellent every four to five hours or after showering or swimming. ”Keeping your protection level high is key and you can apply them on clothes too. Remember, no mosquito repellent lasts forever, so make it a habit to top up your layers of defence." Bite prevention expert Howard Carter.
