What is Cinq-sur-Cinq Family Tiger Mosquito Repellent Lotion used for?
To protect yourself from tiger mosquitoes, the first step is to be vigilant about potential “larval breeding sites.” Larvae can be found in any standing water where mosquitoes can lay their eggs: swamps, tree hollows, old tires… The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends skin repellents, primarily those containing DEET,IR3535, or Icaridin.
Cinq-sur-Cinq Family Mosquito Repellent Lotion contains IR3535, which effectively repels tiger mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, and horseflies to prevent bites. It is one of the preventive measures against the vectors of malaria, dengue, and chikungunya.
This tiger mosquito repellent lotion is effective for about 8 hours.

The Culex Mosquito
Culex mosquitoes are the most common mosquitoes in metropolitan France. There are many species, including Culex pipiens, or the common mosquito, which we are all familiar with.
Most Culex subspecies prefer to bite birds rather than humans or other mammals. They are therefore often considered less dangerous than Anopheles or Aedes mosquitoes. However, they can spread serious diseases such as West Nile fever or Japanese encephalitis.
The Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus)
There are approximately 260 species of mosquitoes in the genus Aedes worldwide. The Aedes mosquito takes its name from ancient Greek, meaning “unpleasant,” a name justified by the significant nuisance caused by this highly aggressive genus of mosquitoes, whose bites are painful.
The Anopheles Mosquito
Of the 3,500 existing species of mosquitoes, there are approximately 430 species in the genus Anopheles. The Anopheles mosquito is greatly feared because it is capable of transmitting malaria.
The sand fly
Sandflies are very small insects that resemble tiny gnats. They are capable of transmitting serious diseases.
