There are plenty of reasons why mosquitoes top my list of hated pests. Small yet mighty, they feast on your blood, leaving behind itchy, uncomfortable bites. And if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, mosquitoes also spread dangerous diseases like dengue and Zika. That\u2019s why I make it a point to keep them as far away as possible. From sprays and patches to devices, I\u2019ve compiled a list of the best mosquito repellents in Singapore \u2014 tried and tested by yours truly, or highly recommended by fellow users online.<\/span><\/p>\n

MyLO Mosquito Repellent Spray<\/b> is widely hailed as one of the best<\/span> mosquito repellents<\/span><\/a> in Singapore, especially by mothers. Made with 100% natural ingredients such as citronella oil, lemongrass oil, and peppermint oil, this DEET-free spray is a favourite for families.<\/span> Citronella<\/span><\/a> is a well-known natural repellent that is proven to be as effective as DEET, but without the harmful chemicals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike DEET-based repellents, MyLO is safe for young children, pregnant women, and those with sensitive skin. The power of citronella in MyLO works by emitting a strong aroma that interferes with mosquitoes’ ability to detect humans, significantly reducing the chances of them landing on your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tiger Balm<\/span><\/a> is an OG brand that\u2019s no stranger to Singaporeans. Their mosquito patches<\/a> are a staple in most households, and if you’re like me, you probably have a jar of<\/span> Tiger Balm ointment<\/span><\/a> tucked away in your stash. But did you know that they also sell one of the best mosquito patches on the market? I\u2019ve been using the <\/span>Tiger Balm Mosquito Patch<\/b> since I was in primary school, especially during outdoor excursions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back, I do recall still getting a bite or two here and there, though it wasn\u2019t anything too unbearable. I think part of that might be because I didn\u2019t always replace the patches every few hours as recommended. Even so, I felt like it did a decent job overall. My mum, however, found it super convenient to just stick the patches on my clothes \u2013 no hassle, no mess \u2013 and she appreciated how easy it was to keep me protected.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While Tiger Balm\u2019s insect repellent is known for its herbal, almost medicinal scent,<\/span> SOFFELL Mosquito Insect Repellent<\/b> stands out for its light, floral fragrance, which makes it the perfect choice when I\u2019m out on a date or heading to places like the zoo with my boyfriend. I want to stay protected from pesky mosquitoes, but I also want to smell good while doing it!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve turned to SOFFELL during several outings, and I love how the scent is fresh and subtle, not overpowering at all. It\u2019s a great middle ground for those who want to stay bite-free without smelling like a heavy-duty bug repellent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When I asked my colleagues for their recommendations on the best insect repellents, I was surprised to learn about mosquito repellent lotions. One colleague, in particular, recommended the<\/span> Ceramoz 100% Natural Mosquito Repellent Lotion<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

She mentioned she was sceptical of mosquito repellent sprays, worried that they might miss certain spots on her skin, but with a lotion, she could be absolutely sure that every inch was covered. As an eco-warrior, the fact that the product is made with 100% natural ingredients was right up her alley.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Baygon<\/span><\/a> is a household name in Singapore, well-known for its insecticides and pest control products. When it comes to tackling mosquitoes, my dad’s go-to move is always the <\/span>Baygon Mosquito Coil <\/b>(even though it’s not always approved by my mum, but hey, it works!). If your nights are often disrupted by the buzzing of mosquitoes and their annoying bites, this coil is a reliable solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Baygon Mosquito Coil works by releasing smoke that repels mosquitoes and other flying insects, effectively creating a barrier around where it’s placed. The mosquito coil<\/a> can burn for up to 8 hours, providing long-lasting protection, especially in outdoor spaces like your balcony.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Convenience & Ease of Use<\/span><\/td>\n3.5<\/span><\/td>\nSetting up the coil is straightforward, but it requires a holder and a safe space to burn it. This makes it slightly less convenient compared to sprays or lotions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
