How to Avoid Smelling Delicious to Insects?

Some scents such as floral, fruity and edible scented perfume can be very appealing to some. However, not only are these scents attractive to you, but it is also alluring to insects.
Unless we do not mind this likelihood of attracting insects, let’s try to avoid them as much as possible with these 4 methods!

Avoid Floral Scents
​

​Some floral scents simulate the real flower scents and is especially attractive to insects as potential food. Therefore, floral scents make you smell delicious to them!
If you would want to save the horror of being followed by insects, then do avoid wearing highly floral scents.

Skip Sweet Edible Notes
​

​Not only are flowers’ nectar part of their diet, for some insect, fruits are in their diet as well. Similar to when you leave your ripe bananas or fruits out in the air, flies gather, forming their own friendly circle around your fruits.
Likewise, smelling like sweet ripe fruit may let them think that you are food on a platter for them to feast. Hence, to prevent that from happening, try skim on the sweetness of your perfume.

Cool Down
​

​Body temperature is a factor in attracting insects, especially mosquitoes, since warmth relates to blood being in close proximity.
Furthermore, if you had just had an exercise, or an activity that increases your breathing, it increases your likelihood of attracting insects such as mosquitoes as well. Carbon dioxide (CO2) produced is also an indicator that warm blood is near, thus making you an easy target.

Keep Clean
​

Being clean is not only a good hygiene practice, but when there is moisture and dirt, it boosts the possibility of insects being attracted to you as well.
When we are dirty, it most likely has a mixture of sweat and dirt, where bacteria growth is very likely. Certain scents produced by bacteria display a distinctive scent that smells similar to cheese which also appeals to insects such as mosquitoes.
