According to the American Association for the Control of Mosquitoes, there is something very simple and effective at the same time to keep them away or, at the very least, make their existence difficult. And what is it? Well, nothing more and nothing less than a working fan. Yes, yes, as you read it. It turns out that mosquitoes are not very good at flying and flee from drafts.

Therefore, if you have a running fan nearby, you will keep them away. Of course, it is not a method that works miracles. It does not eliminate them, it only scares them away and surely there are some other mosquitoes that venture to cross your airspace to get bite you. But it is proven that it greatly reduces its presence. And, on the rebound, it helps us sleep fresher.

In addition, fans are much more environmentally friendly than air conditioning because they use much less energy, and are more suitable for sleeping without risking catching colds or a dry throat. And it is not like before, it was difficult to find fans of all styles and for different situations.

There are them to put on the ceiling of any room as elegant as this Lantau ceiling fan, from Faro Barcelona, ​​with walnut wood blades and Nordic style. In addition, many can incorporate a lamp, with which you solve two needs in a single device: lighting and ventilating.

And there are also portable ones without blades that take up very little space like this ForceSilence tower fan, by Cecotec, which is ultra-slim and with a super contemporary look. So you can take them wherever you are and they take up almost nothing, both while you use them and when you store them after the summer.
