How to prevent insects and matters needing attention in camping by the lake

Many people like camping, some choose to be by the lake, and some choose to be by the sea. No matter where they choose to camp, they should do a good job of pest control. Next, I recommend the methods and precautions for insect prevention in camping by the lake.

Methods of preventing insects, mosquitoes, flies and ants in lakeside camping

How to prevent:

Usually, mosquitoes and flies can't penetrate two layers of clothes, so wearing headgear nets, gloves, more clothes and stuffing trouser legs into shoes or socks can completely cut off their chances of pouncing, while light-colored clothes can provide better protection.

To avoid mosquito infestation. Portable mosquito-repellent incense can be used, and mosquito-repellent incense liquid can also be applied to the whole body. In the absence of mosquito repellent, you can use the smell of leaves to smoke mosquitoes, and use wormwood to smoke mosquitoes in tents, which is very effective.

Treatment method:

After being bitten by a mosquito, rub something like tiger balm, or immerse the bitten part in water. There are often ants with thorns on the branches, so be extra careful when climbing trees. At the same time, you shouldn't camp near ant-infested hills or ant-infested paths. In case of stinging, you can wash them with cold water soap.

2. poison bee

How to prevent:

Just take precautions against bee colony attacks. Don't violate it. Don't poke the hive on purpose. When out on patrol, stand still and let it go.

If you encounter a siege, pick up a branch and spin it on your head, and finally throw it into the valley, and the bees will fly away with the wind.

Treatment method:

Poison bee cleans with alkaline soap, and then cools the affected area with water or ice cubes.

If the stab wound is located in the limbs, it can be tied tightly with tourniquet or belt, and relaxed every 15 minutes 15 seconds to slow down the spread of toxin. In severe cases, epinephrine, antibiotics and accessory renal cortex are injected, but these drugs have adverse side effects, so don't use them easily unless the patient's life is in danger.

3. leeches

Also known as bloodsuckers, they are hungry and can live for a year or two.

There are two common leeches. They are called water leeches and are produced in water. They are flat dark green with yellowish brown lines on the back. The largest is about 2 inches long. The largest one is called leech, which is produced during drought. They are small and gray-black, and most of them live in swamps or wet forests, some lying in the grass, and some hanging on the leaves.

Pedestrians pass by, they just fall off one by one, climb on the human body, and have a huge appetite for blood. What was originally more than an inch long can expand to the point where this finger is thicker. At this time, it will automatically fall off. Just press it with your hand and it will explode immediately, spilling a pool of blood. It's terrible.

How to prevent:

When entering the mountainous area, first smear alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, soap, salt, etc. Apply to skin and clothes to prevent the invasion of leeches.

Cover exposed parts of the body, such as neck, head, arms and feet, with raincoats, towels and leggings when crossing the grass or forest.

Treatment method:

If a grasshopper bites your skin, don't scratch it with your hands, because this scratch is likely to break your head and stay in your skin, leading to infectious diseases.

It is best to pat the skin with your hands, or coat it with salt, sugar and lime, or smoke it with cigarettes and matches, and it will fall off naturally.

After the leech falls off, it is best to immediately squeeze the wound and let it bleed, the amount of bleeding is equal to the blood sucked by the leech, and then wash it with amine water and soda water to relieve its itching and pain.

Insect Prevention Tips for Camping in the Wild When camping in the wild and jungle, weeds should be removed around the camp, a drainage ditch should be dug around it, and a layer of plant ash should be sprinkled to prevent snakes and insects from crawling in. The bed should be 30-50 cm above the ground. If the floor is paved, it can be covered with branches, leaves or thin bamboo mats. Try not to use weeds. Before going to bed, you should knock on the ground to get rid of crawling insects. When you wake up, you should first look around your body carefully to see if there are any snakes or insects nearby that are disturbed by sudden activities. Also pay attention to keep the camp clean, and all garbage must be buried in time. Because as long as there is star grease, it is possible to attract ants, ants will attract lizards, and lizards will attract snakes.

Be careful not to burn fishbone, the taste will also attract snakes. When moving in areas with snakes, you should always pay attention to reducing the possibility of being bitten by snakes. Generally, 70% of the parts bitten by snakes are on the feet. If you wear trousers, jungle boots and land boots, even if you are bitten, it won't hurt your body and be poisoned.

Move in the jungle where snakes are infested, but be alert to whether there are poisonous snakes in the trees. When camping in the wild, sprinkle some lime powder around the residence to prevent poisonous snakes from invading. Check the bed before going to bed, press the tent and get up in the morning to check the shoes. It is usually safe to do so. If you find a snake, you can quickly back off and keep a certain distance, then find a large piece of sticky mud and throw it at the snake hard, so that the snake can't move and get out of danger for the time being. Here are some common sense of pest control: grind rosin into foam and scatter it around the tent; Sprinkle ash after burning firewood; Sprinkle lime; Sprinkle a circle of kerosene; You can also sprinkle a circle of realgar around the tent to prevent snakes or crawling insects.

What should I pay attention to when camping by the sea? First, you must prepare the equipment:

1. Low-permeability double-layer tent, moisture-proof pad, sleeping bag, mosquito-repellent incense, sulfur (or sand worms) and lighting equipment.

Tent: The beach is wet and the dew is heavy. It is recommended to use a double-layer tent, which has good waterproof performance and is best equipped with waterproof floor mats to improve the moisture from the surface.

Sleeping bag: the temperature difference between day and night in the field is large. In summer and autumn, the temperature scale of sleeping bags should be between +20 and 0 degrees Celsius, and envelope sleeping bags can be used as quilts (according to the experience of camping at the seaside in recent two years, it is very warm in tents at night, and sleeping bags are hardly used, but generally only used as mattresses). Even though the weather in June is a little colder than that in July and August, it is warm enough to get into a sleeping bag in a tent.

Dampproof pad or inflatable pad: You can lie flat at night. Physical foaming products are selected for the moisture-proof pad to avoid odor. The inflatable cushion is inflated by air pump or automatically, which is soft and comfortable.

Camp lights: Night lighting is very important. You can choose battery lamp or steam lamp. If it is a battery lamp, be sure to prepare enough spare batteries.

Other necessities: swimsuit, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, cold windbreaker, lifebuoy, stake and rope (if you want to spend the night). Nail the stake to the seaside. When the tide rises, put a life buoy on it and tie it to a stake with a rope so that it won't drift away.

Second, the camping terrain selection:

1, 3 meters away from the highest point of historical tidal level, is in the zone where waves and tides can't reach.

2. The terrain is flat, and the surrounding terrain is shorter than the tent area, so it cannot be flooded in case of rain.

3, do not plant grass, do not plant trees. Trees other than grass 1 m 5 are best, in places where harmful animals and pests are difficult to invade.

4. Stay away from the high platform to prevent the danger of traveling at night.

5. Choose a place where there are no stones or other dangers, and it is best to be flat around it.
