Why do mosquitoes like to fly beside the ears? 🦟

Mosquitoes like to fly by their ears when sleeping because of the main reasons as follows:

1.Mosquitoes use carbon dioxide guidance - Mosquitoes have carbon dioxide-sensitive (CO ❣) sensors that humans release all the time to breathe, especially when they sleep slower and deeper breathing, causing mosquitoes to fly closer to their heads.

2.Heat and body odor - mosquitoes can detect heat and human body odor well. Our ears are near the head, which is a warmer spot than other parts of the body.

3. Female mosquitoes need blood - most of them are females because they need blood protein to lay eggs.

4.Mosquito wing noise - Female mosquitoes flap their wings about 400-600 times a second, causing a buzzing sound in the ear. Even when flying near the eardrum, the sound waves will sound, annoying us.

🗣 how to prevent:

🔸 use a fan or turn on the air conditioner because the strong wind makes it difficult for mosquitoes to fly.

🔸 use mosquito repellent spray or mosquito repellent lotion.

🔸 sleep in mosquito nets or use mosquito-proof wire nets.

🔸 remove water supplies around the house to reduce mosquito breeding.

To sum it up, mosquitoes do not particularly intend to harass us, but they are attracted by our own smell, heat, and carbon dioxide! 😴

Anyone have a strange mosquito repellent method, please share it. 😆
