# Is Your Mosquito Spray Toxic? The Hidden Risk to Your Family **By LifeKrafts Admin** · 2026-03-25 In India, the battle against mosquitoes is a year-round struggle. From the humid monsoon puddles to the peak of summer, these tiny pests bring more than just annoying buzzes-they carry serious risks like Dengue, Malaria, and the evolving 2026 strains of Zika. For years, the "quick fix" has been chemical mosquito sprays. But as we prioritize indoor air quality and long-term health, a critical question arises: **_Are these sprays doing more harm than good?_** In this guide, we compare the hidden health costs of chemical repellents against the sustainable, 100% safe alternative: LifeKrafts Mosquito Net for Doors. ## **The Hidden Truth About Chemical Mosquito Sprays** Most household sprays and aerosols rely on powerful insecticides like Pyrethroids (Allethrin, Permethrin) and DEET.
