Still can t catch mosquitoes? It turns out the gesture was wrong! Teach you the magic trick to kill mosquitoes with one move

The most frustrating thing when sleeping is probably being harassed by mosquitoes. When you get up to swat the mosquitoes, you can't hit them even though you swing them around! In fact, there are techniques to fight mosquitoes. If you don’t use the right method, it will be difficult to catch them. The following will teach you how to accurately eliminate mosquitoes.

In fact, it’s not just that we can’t fight mosquitoes while sleeping. Even if we want to fight mosquitoes, we often can’t. Sometimes we clearly see them, but then they disappear all of a sudden, which is really annoying. Why are mosquitoes so difficult to fight?

Why are mosquitoes so difficult to hit? Why do mosquitoes disappear in the blink of an eye?

According to information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mosquito wings vibrate 300 to 600 times per second when flying. Toshiyuki Nakata, associate professor at Chiba University Graduate School of Engineering in Japan, even pointed out in the journal "Nature" in 2017 that mosquitoes beat their wings about 800 times per second, so it can almost correct its flight posture in a very short time. Furthermore, when mosquitoes flap their wings, they also produce complex airflow interference, making it difficult for human eyes to determine the exact location of the mosquito. The mosquito's flying posture is almost vertical wing beating, allowing it to move quickly and flexibly "forward, backward, and sideways."

Therefore, when a palm is slapped towards it, the mosquito can quickly sense the change in airflow and immediately change direction, and then fly away at lightning speed.

There are skills in swatting mosquitoes. It is easier to hit mosquitoes by "slapping up and down".

However, generally when we swat mosquitoes, we will hit them with both hands from left to right. This is related to the gestures we usually use. However, after a little understanding of the characteristics of mosquitoes, the most effective way to fight mosquitoes with bare hands is to "slap up and down" instead of left and right. Because mosquitoes mainly fly vertically, "slapping up and down" will make it easier to hit.

In addition, you must be quick and precise, and pay attention to keeping your palms flat and not hollow, otherwise mosquitoes will fly away from the gaps in your palms.

If you don’t want to swat mosquitoes with your hands, what else can you use?

When mosquitoes are indoors, they like to stay on clothes, curtains, fabrics, furniture, walls and dark places. Therefore, if you cannot find mosquitoes, you can look in these places. According to a tip provided by an IG netizen on the Japanese lifestyle and home affairs website "grape", if you see it parked on the wall and want to hit it, you don't need to hit it with your hands. If you have a "sticky roller" at home, get it quickly and roll the roller gently across the wall where the mosquito is. After hitting it, you can directly tear off the sticky paper without dirtying your hands.

In addition, using electric mosquito swatters, mosquito lamps, hanging mosquito nets, etc. are also ways to repel and fight mosquitoes.
