Mosquitoes are immune to the smell of repellants..I hate its bite coz my child was infected with dengue carrier mosquito.I almost panic.How come a very small bug could kill lives?They are much worse than cockroaches...

It is because the mosquitoes developed an immunity to the antimosquito repellants, especially if use the spray that kills them. Those that are lotions are quite effective still. Nevertheless, the only to really get rid of them in your house is to make sure that all stagnant water are covered. Water in the vases are changed because the wrigglers, the future mosquitoes thrive in water, and they will die once you get rid of the water in the vase and throw it away. You may also check with your local health authority for other questions.

The mosquitos are becoming more stronger than the repellants. its simple. But u can easily kill the mosquito, if mosquitoes are not killed with repellants like mats, u can burn the mats and the smoke that comes will make then die

I don't know why mosquito repellant doesn't work, but I will agree with you that it doesn't. The other thing that I don't know is why I am always the one that gets eaten up with mosquito bites while my husband can be walking right beside me and he doesn't get bitten by a single mosquito. I think that the repellant wasn't really meant to kill the mosquitos but rather intended to keep them from coming close enough to us to bite us, however, I don't think it even does that efficiently anymore.

Hi,kush,it's true and it will happen like that in all living organisms,because of increased resistant power in those.I you a living organism is continuously exposed/habituated to some thing/surrounding/atmosphere...they will get resistant against and develop sustainability.It happens not only with mosquitoes,but also with pest/diseases on food crops.Continuous/irregular usage of pesticides on pests results to development of resistance in pests for the chemicals and now some insects we not able to control them no longer ..leads to heavy loss to farmers and nation.Have a nice time.
