Managing Mosquitoes in Milan: A Guide for International Students 🦟🏙️

Welcome to Milan! As you get ready to start your studies and settle into your new apartment, here’s some useful info about managing mosquitoes.

Why Aren’t There Mosquito Screens in Windows? 🤔

You might notice that many apartments in Milan don’t have mosquito screens. Unfortunately, mosquito screens are not yet very common here. But don’t worry! There are effective and non-toxic devices you can use.

Effective Mosquito Control Devices 🛡️

VAPE Mosquito Repellent Mats and Liquids are highly recommended. They’re safe, easy to use, and very effective.

• VAPE Mats: Insert these into an electric device. One mat can protect an apartment of up to 40-50 square meters and lasts several days.
• VAPE Liquids: Place the liquid in an electric diffuser. It provides long-lasting protection and covers large areas.

Both options are non-toxic and safe.

Efforts by the City of Milan 🌇

In the last few years, Milan has ramped up mosquito control efforts. The city conducts regular disinfestation, especially around residential buildings. Condominium associations also organize their own disinfestation services. These efforts have significantly reduced the mosquito population.

Tips for Managing Mosquitoes

1. Keep Doors and Windows Closed: Especially during dusk and dawn.
2. Use Electric Repellents: VAPE mats and liquids are great choices.
3. Wear Protective Clothing: Long sleeves and pants can help if you’re outside during peak mosquito hours.
4. Check Disinfestation Services: Ask your landlord or building management about scheduled services.

By following these tips and using the right products, you can enjoy your time in Milan without the hassle of mosquitoes. Welcome again, and best of luck with your studies! 🎓📚
