Ok so this is my first post idk if I chooses the right section and sorry for my poor English.


Does anyone know a good repulsive for mosquito that isn’t toxic for my guinea? Because inside of my house they have been a lot of mosquito recently in my room and I don’t want to use anything toxic for them they also have been bite and I’ve got no idea if mosquito from Canada (Quebec) are dangerous I can’t kill those mosquitoes all the time because I have school

Hello and welcome. I’m afraid I can’t answer your question but @Freela is also from Canada so may be able to answer your question when she sees your thread

Mosquitos in Canada can carry West Nile disease, but that's less common this time of year and the risk is relatively slim (definitely less risk than using most insecticides.) Things like RAID to kill the mosquitos are not safe around pets. DEET (OFF brand and similar) are not considered safe for dogs and cats and although they don't specify guinea pigs I'm guessing because they're smaller it's even less safe. Your safest bet is probably some sort of mosquito trap that you plug into the wall- it draws them in and then they get stuck to the sticky tape inside. Something like this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dynatra...rap-with-StickyTech-Glue-Card-DT152/325743638
