Now, Do Ceiling Fans Keep Mosquitos Away?
Yes, the addition of a ceiling fan helps keep mosquitos away and here are three reasons why
According to RAID.com Mosquitoes pick up on a variety of cues to find their victims from the carbon dioxide you emit when you breathe to the odours you release in your sweat."
Ceiling Fans In Outdoor & Indoor Spaces
Ceiling fans provide many benefits on a patio or indoors. They're designed to provide a cool breeze, making the temperature around you feel much lower thanks to the increased circulation of air.
1. As well as making your spaces more enjoyable, the fact that you are cool means a huge reduction in the amount of sweat you release. As mosquitos are attracted to the lactic acid and ammonia found in your sweat, less sweat means fewer mosquitos, phew.
2. As they're attracted to carbon dioxide - it's unlikely we'll give up breathing in place of fewer mosquitos.
However, there is hope, the air movement created by a ceiling fan helps dissipate any carbon dioxide that we exhale. Henceforth reducing the number of mosquitos that you bring to the party.
3. Lastly, mosquitoes are actually weak flyers. They fly at slower speeds and a little airflow goes a long way. An excellent way to deter these annoying guests.
Can Mosquitos Still Fly With A Ceiling Fan On?
Their wings aren't strong enough to fly against or into strong air currents. Great news for you, not so great news for mozzies.
Which Blades Are Best?
When you're looking to protect outdoor spaces from the small pests think big. A big outdoor ceiling fan with many blades helps spread air flow evenly over greater areas. You'll also have greater flexibility and control over the speed and breeze created and what's more, they're super impressive to look at too.
