It is hot and i usually open door and open the windows to keep air flow. But there are several mosquitos enter and bite me when i am asleep. They are so annoying that I use mosquito tent to defend their attack. I don't like to use anti-mosquito incense or electro-incense. i don't want to be harmed by chmical substance although some one believe they are safe.

What about you? How do you avoid be bothered by mosquitos?

yes, there are some. first of all keep the doors and windows shut from evening 5-7. this will prevent their entry. also a electric device is available in the form of a racket. you charge it and hit the mosquitoes. on touching the mosquito, there is a spark. like the insect catchers in restaurants. you can use it. costs around 70-80 rupees.

I agree with staci26. Try to light up citronella scented candles as they are proven to be an effective mosquito repellent. You could also try using a water-based insect spray. That's what I do just before going to sleep. I also try to apply an insect repellent lotion like Off.wink

If there is citronella candle in our country, i will try it. I will search for it in google.

hi lixiaos there are very few mosquitos in Southern
California, we do have screens on our windows to keep
out all bugs and any stray mosquitos. we sometimes open
our front door and then sometimes flies come in and we
have to swat them but we have no mosquitos. thank
goodness for that.

You are so lucky that they don't annoy you. But mosquito is so smart here that they can crawl in from any tiny crack even there are screens. And they are strong enough to fly up 20 meters to my apartment.

Must be so wonderful to sleep with the door open.
In our country, if a person sleeps with their door
open at night, they are likely to be robbed or murdered
in their sleep.

As for the mosquitos, we have many in our area.

But none in our home.

My best suggestion would be to watch what you eat.

Eating bananas and some fruits will attract mosquitos
to you. Mosquitos can't eat bananas by themselves,
but enjoy feasting off the people who do!

I found that out by hard experience.

Eating garlic in your meals is thought to repel mosquitos.

Keep a potted marigold plant by your bed on a stand.
Mosquitos are repelled by the scent.

Best of luck!

I will try marigold plant, mosquitos are annoying here. Thank you for you advice.
