Yes, Finland&#8217;s pristine nature comes with a downside: swarms of these pesky insects ready to ruin your outdoor adventures. But fear not, with the right preparation, you can still enjoy the beauty of Finnish summers while keeping those bloodsuckers at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-3743404_1280-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-3743404_1280-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-3743404_1280-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-3743404_1280-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there alot of mosquitoes in Finland? How do I avoid them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we have ton of mosquitoes in Finland. They are the most agressive during June and July, in August their amount starts to drop down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mosquitoes thrive in moist, wooded areas, making Finland&#8217;s forests and lakes prime breeding grounds. Keep an eye out for these buggers near water bodies, especially during dusk and dawn when they&#8217;re most active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In towns you are going to be quite safe, the mosquitoes hates areas that are covered with asphalt. Also on warm summer days it\u2019s safe to go to beach, it\u2019s too hot for mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reindeer-7625838_1280-1024x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3358\" style=\"width:823px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reindeer-7625838_1280-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reindeer-7625838_1280-980x532.jpg 980w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reindeer-7625838_1280-480x261.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Even the animals in the forest are getting annoyed of the mosquitoes. Sometimes the reindeers are hanging in the middle of the road, because there is more wind than inside the forest.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to deal with the mosquito bites?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, Finland is notorious for its mosquito population, and those first few bites can feel like they\u2019re driving you crazy with itching. Antihistamin can be useful for relieving the itch and you can take it even before you go into any mosquito-filled area. You can also find different relieving creams from pharmacies. Also putting your own spit to the itching spot gives a small relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some days your organism is getting used to the bites and they won\u2019t be itching so mad anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arm yourself: What is the best moquito repellent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to mosquito repellents, you&#8217;ve got multiple options. Most supermarkets and pharmacies stock a variety of sprays, lotions, and patches designed to keep the bloodsuckers at bay. They are effective, but you cannot apply chemical repellent to your neck and face. (I tried to apply on my neck once, and my lymph nodes got swollen, so I don\u2019t recommend this!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I have sprayed repellant on my clothes, because I don\u2019t like it straight on my skin. Usually this is not recommened because it might ruin the clothes, but at least I have never had any problems. You can try if you dare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-tips-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-tips-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-tips-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mosquito-tips-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural alternative: tar-based repellent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/en\/category\/kuhmo-en\/\">Kuhmo<\/a><\/strong>, you&#8217;ll find a unique alternative to traditional repellents: tar mixed with vegetable oil. This chemical-free concoction provides a natural barrier against mosquitoes, perfect for those seeking a more eco-friendly solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has quite strong smell, but at least I like it better than the smells of chemicals. (The smell makes me think of my grandfather\u2019s wooden boat!) I have also applied tar repellent to my neck without problems. This product it sold with name terva\u00f6ljy = tar oil. You can buy it from Lentiira holiday village, Kaesan herkkupuoti and Rusasen Kulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/natural-mosquito-repellant-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/natural-mosquito-repellant-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/natural-mosquito-repellant-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prallethrin evaporators and smoke &#8211; do they work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prallethrin evaporator devices offer another line of defense against mosquitoes, emitting a repellent vapor that creates a mosquito-free zone around you. While effective, it&#8217;s essential to use them responsibly. These devices can be harmful to bees and other beneficial insects, so avoid using them in natural habitats. Instead, opt for open terraces or stationary settings where they can be safely utilized. Keep also your pets far from these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes-2-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoke is another way of keeping the mosquitoes away. When sitting on a campfire, they won&#8217;t bother you that much. Just remember that you are not allowed to make a fire anywhere, you need the landowner&#8217;s permission. In national parks you can make fire to a designated fireplace, but even there you cannot do it if the forest fire warning is on. You can check the warnings <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi\/warnings\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the markets you can find smoking spirals that are a bit like incence sticks. Their smoke is effective and you can use them even during the forest fire warning. Just remember to put sime kind of plate beneath it and watch that the wind won&#8217;t make it spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/anattijarvi-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/anattijarvi-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/anattijarvi-3-480x720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 683px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>In the middle of a lake the mosquitoes won&#8217;t disturb you!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the best defence against mosquitoes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes.jpg 479w, https:\/\/koekainuu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/how-to-deal-with-mosquitoes-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When all else fails, your best defense against mosquitoes is good old-fashioned clothing. Opt for light-colored, loose-fitting garments that cover as much skin as possible. Personally, I&#8217;ve found &#8220;desert pants&#8221; paired with a loose cotton jacket to be a comfortable and effective option for keeping mosquitoes at bay.
