Do you have a mosquito remedy?  | | I am being attacked by a lone mosquito in my house. It keeps landing on me just long enough to inject me with poison, and not long enough for me to end its miserable life. So far, I have five bites, one on a toe, one on the sides of each foot, one on my left ankle, and one on my sholder. I have Benedryl spray around here somewhere, but can't find it. Does anyone have, or heard of, a home remedy for bites? I'm dying here!

He seems to have a meal for life in you, my friend, but either oil in a burner, candles or a little oil mixed with baby oil and rubbed onto your skin will rid you of your greedy mosquito. Brightest Blessings.

| | 2. dragon54u (3555) | 5 months ago | Those sheets we put in our dryers are good for rubbing on your exposed flesh to keep the bugs away. Mosquitos hate them! You can rubber band one around your wrist if you like, instead of rubbing it on your skin, and they'll stay away.

sherlock27 (849) | 5 months ago | Very good advice!! I've used them for a long time while sitting outside towards the end of the day, around sunset when they seem to visit the backyard. It's amazing how they work.

| | 4. OreoCookie3 (13969) | 5 months ago | I don't get bothered by mosquitoes, but I know that the Avon Skin So Soft has been reported to be a great remedy. I don't even know if Avon still sells that stuff.. but it worked on gnats and mosquitoes in the south GA area.

| | 5. Polly1 (6754) | 5 months ago | I just got done putting some anti itch cream on my grandson. He had a bunch of bites. I told him to fight the urge to scratch let the medicine work. Of course it was still itching. So I told him to press his fingernail on the bite, his fingernails are too short. So I did it for him, it worked they quit itching.

| | 6. mentalward (1830) | 5 months ago | I not only have a mosquito bite remedy, but I have a mosquito remedy as well. Treat mosquito bites with Goldbond Ointment. It works wonders! I just had a couple of bites yesterday (got 'em while I slept!), put Goldbond on them and the itch was relieved immediately. It is also an antiseptic so it will prevent, or cure, infection. Fabric softener sheets, like Downy or Snuggles, etc., work pretty good at keeping mosquitoes from landing on you. Mosquitoes zoom in when they smell the oils and perspiration from our skin. Even if we can't smell them, they can. The fabric softener sheets mask our natural scent and confuse the little pests, so they won't land on you. I'm sure a few will get by, but it works for me 100%. I just never thought to use them around me in bed until yesterday morning! Stuff them in your pillow cases, under sheets, on headboards, between mattress and box spring, anywhere you can think of. Rub one on yourself, too, before going to sleep. I heard this works awhile ago but never used it. Then my mother used it and raved about it! So, I tried it and it works for me! (Well, we'll see about overnight... I'm trying that for the first time tonight.) I'm sure there are a lot of home remedies for mosquito bite itches, but for me, the best thing to use is Goldbond Ointment. It also works great for poison ivy itch, sunburn itch, just about any kind of itch. Good luck! Hope this helps.

| | 9. chertsy (2142) | 5 months ago | Best remedy that I know to keep a mosquito away is your regular mouth wash. You can also take a fabric softener sheet and rub it all over your arms and legs, or any part of your skin that's showing. Mosquitos don't like the smell of these two things. I have also read that mosquitos like to bite people that have a high cholesterol, they have done a study on this, and some reason when it's high, we give off a smell that mosquito love. With the mouthwash, you can spray some around the door ways and whereever you would normally see mosquitos and then you will start to see that you don't have them around anymore. You can add mouth wash, stale beer and Epsom salt for a stronger effect.

chertsy (2142) | 5 months ago | Your welcome, a month ago, we had a outbreak that I thought was mosquitos, I later learned they where flies called Skeeter eaters. I couldn't step outside without having about 20 fly all around me. So after looking in stores, I couldn't find anything that would get rid of the mosquitos and at the same time, wouldn't hurt my kids and pets. So I did a search on home made remedies. That's how I learned about the mouthwash. You can also plant Marigolds, Rosemary, and cat nip. Mosquitos don't like the smell of these flowers and plants.

Katesmama (3232) | 5 months ago | I looked at Whole Food today for a mosquito plant, I've seen plants labled that way. i didn't know about hose herbs working also. It would be a great reason to start the herb garden I have also talked about. AND I happen to have four packages of marigold seeds here at home. I love 'em, and even better that they are benefitial.
| |
|
| |
Katesmama (3232) | 5 months ago | Yeah, I've seen those plants at Lowe's but didn't think too much of them. It would be helpful for me to get some of those in a a large pot or two on my porch, that is if I don't do the herb garden, or both.

chertsy (2142) | 5 months ago | What are the name of these plants? I think the next time, when I go back to Lowe's I will check it out. I only been to Home Depot, and only seen Marigolds, and the rosemary. I needed the catnip to help with the other two. I want to start a herb garden though, since we use a lot of herbs in our cooking. My garlic plants died on me for some reason, hopefully the bulb didn't die, that it was just the top part. I think I will dig up the garlic plants, and add better soil to the area, and plant herbs, since my bell peppers, and carrots didn't grow either. Since turning my ac on, I'm saving money on my water bill. I collect water that drips from the ac pipe outside, when it gets full, I dump it into a bucket. Then at night when it's cooler, I water my trees and flowers.

Katesmama (3232) | 5 months ago | I don't know the proper name, the garden tags just read 'mosquito plants'.

| | 10. stephcjh (13802) | 5 months ago | You can use Off spray to keep mosquitoes off of your skin and body. You can also spray your outside of your house or yard area with seven. that will kill them and keep them away from your property. You can also put Calomine lotion on the bites to stop them from itching. I hate all bugs and bug bites. We are dealing with trying to rid of them now also. We put down seven spray yeaterday arounf the yard area.
