This Thursday, September 14, a very useful piece of advice was revealed in Touche pas à mon poste. This concerns the tiger mosquito, which has invaded many regions.
They bite everywhere and are very invasive in summer. We named: tiger mosquitoes, which sting some people more than others. This insect is native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, but has managed to strongly invade France thanks to its adaptation to different environments and climates. In fact, more than 80 countries, including France, are invaded by tiger mosquitoes.
This insect has even been classified among the ten most invasive species in the world. With the heatwave, Nantes was a particularly affected region by the invasion of tiger mosquitoes, to the point that the repellent shelves of hardware stores were completely emptied. Two months of stock were in fact sold out in just a few days. Enough to warn of the invasion of this species, which can lay up to 200 eggs in four days. Figures which are not pleasant to read, and which allow us to better understand the situation.

What is the solution to fight against tiger mosquitoes?
This Thursday, September 14, Do not touch My TV has further enlightened the French on the solution to adopt to fight against tiger mosquitoes. It is more precisely an expert who answered Cyril Hanouna’s questions. The host asked him in particular if air conditioning could remedy this situation. To which the speaker responded: “So if you lower the temperature, there is less activity, what mosquitoes don’t like is air flows, fans. There are a lot of people who protect themselves by putting on fans at night.”. The fan would thus be an effective weapon to keep tiger mosquitoes away.
This solution would even be much more effective than all the usual remedies such as products based on lemongrass, essential oils or even insecticides. Indeed, the tiger mosquito is no match for a fan. It runs out quickly, and the force of the fan eventually wins out.
