Hi joynatarajan. Mosquito nettings on the other hand has become very popular nowadays. Besides protecting you from the mosquitoes, it has become part of the interior decor for your bedroom and it creates luxurious look to your home. Nowadays, even your patio can be equipped with mosquito nets. Anyway, besides mosquito nettings, you can also read on mosquito control at: http://www.mosquito-nettings.com/

Hi joy, get to a Tianshi group depot in you town, pick a Tianshi registration form and join under this distributor number as your sponsor, 96247243 add this e-mail address of the sponsor,stormysun93@yahoo.com. Once you join, just let them give you a mosquito soap, you can bathe and then smear on your body as you sleep. But you can also buy other very valueable health products, equipment, beauty products,which will accumulate points for you-introduce friends to register using your distributor no. Just as you did under me, get about 7 friends, and encourage them to do the same, before you know it, the company will be paying you a lot of money in bonuses from the purchases of your direct and indirect downlne-the money goes to your account-many ordinary people are making lots of money using Tinshi products, and it is global, when you get to star 7, they award you a 4wheel drive factory car of your choice and there is no kidding!This is besides getting $10,000-15,000 monthly! You join, they give you business manuals, a distributor card, and a CD on paying a fee. It is a wealth and health Chinese company-take this little idea seriously and you will be very amazed Joy!

Go to a natural foods\products store and get essential oils of lemon, orange, citranella, and lavender. These all repel mosquitos and when used in a mixture will repel other bugs as well. If you get bit by a mosquito use lavender oil to immediately to prevent those ugly bumps from appearing.

There are mosquito repellent coils available in market which you can burn in your home with a stand to repel mosquitoes from your home. Also other electric mats are also available whose newer version is liquid based. Famous brand name of such is Mortein.

After seeing the number of posts you have sucessfully posted to many discussion which are only 173, I feel how can you earn $10 in two days. Its really impossible, well, now I get it, its another stunt to just gain responses and publicity by starting such discussion which is entirely based on a lie. No hard feelings please, freedom of speech remember !

I just vaccuum them up when I find them in the house. I have dried bay leaves in bowls near windows and doors to help keep them out. I also put netting on windows that are often open to keep them from getting in but it doesn't stop the breeze from coming in.

Use lemongrass/citronella aromatherapy oil. Use it like how you would with the aromatherapy burner. It gives out a nice fragrance too... :)

There are plants that emitt a smell the repell mosquitoes. Also, in Florida...we eat a lot of garlic in the summer when mosquitoes are at their worse. garlic emitts a smell also thru the skin. You hear the saying, you are what you eat? LOL Well, mosquito bite less with garlic eaters. If you do not want to eat garlic. They have garlic pills also. Personally, I like garlic. But that is also probably because I was raised with eating so much garlic anyways. LOL Hope it helps!

I don't know the name of it but there are plants that you can get to get rid of them. My mom plants them and it gets rid of mosquitoes, mothes, and other insects. I thought she was crazy but after she planted the small shrub like plants there wasn't any bugs flying around the lights right above them.

Natural aromatic oils like cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil and citronella oils are safe and repells mosquitoes. These oils can be applied to the exposed skin to protect from mosquitoes.

Citronella works well, either as candles, or the plants even. You can pick up the plants at almost any WalMart, nursery, Home Depot, etc.
