hi friend, If you are talking about natural things than you are looking for 'Aloe vera'. It is a good mosquito replant. You can just hang a few outside your home and it will keep away mosquitoes.

You can use the paste from it as well. Though it gives out a little odour(not pungent) it is a good moisturizer and insect replant. You can also apply it for your hair... keeps off dandruff :)

I kind of feeling like i;m advertising the nature :lol: Just kidding :)

Hello Billybibps,
That was very good ideas. I will try them especailly aloe vera. This is good moisturizer too. I did not know about the hair and shampoo and danruff.
Thanks for the reply and tips.

There are electronic products which produce a sound which is unpleasant to mosquitoes but cannot be heard by humans. They either plug into the wall socket or they may be battery operated.

Mosquitoes and other biting insects do not like the smell of yeast products and it is said that just a slice of toast spread with Marmite eaten for breakfast will keep mosquitoes at bay for the whole day. If Marmite is not available in your country, you can probably buy Yeast Tablets (which contain many of the B vitamins and so are good for you). One or two of these a day should help to keep the mozzies at bay. The odour of yeast is completely undetectable by humans, by the way, but it puts off the insects.

Hello owlwings,
I did not know about yeast products. I need to try this when I go for my walks on the weekend. I have a camping trip coming up at the end of June. I just so itchy when they get me and we will sleeping out doors. Yes, I heard about those buzz zappers too. Actually some brands are quite noisy when bug hits them and they die.
What is Marmite? I never heard of this before. I will pick up the yeast tablets.
Thanks for the replay and have a great day

Ah, yes! In the US you wouldn't know about Marmite wink It's similar to Vegemite - a very salty, brown paste (used very sparingly as a spread on bread and toast and can also be used as a hot drink or a stock). It CAN be found in the States - as an import from the UK - but I think that the FDA are a bit wary of hydrolysed yeast products!

Try these sites for more information and for buying online:

http://www.britishdelights.com/marmite.htm
http://evryaustralian.sto... (Yes, the Aussies love it, too)

Depending on where you are in the US, you might find it in the 'International' aisle of some stores, especially the more 'specialist' kind of store (like Trader Joe's in CA).

I'd place a mosquito net over the window if possible or use that lamp that fries them at night with electricity. I used many skin products but none worked 100%. One time a bee was actually attracted to the smell so i had a new problemlol. I just try to keep away from forests and wet areas because there's more bugs there.


myLot reputation of 87/100. unique16 (1385)   ranked 1,118 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

My parents use vinagar and water and spray it around. Also, they use bleach and water sometimes when it gets bad. Im not sure of any other natural products to sue outside. Some products you can use for yourself is I think heard once Aloe Vera works. Ive never tried it myself so I cant tell you if it works or not. I know if you have bites to put toothpaste on them which releases the itching.


myLot reputation of 87/100. unique16 (1385)   ranked 1,118 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hello Ricki911,
Thanks for the reply. All these tips are wonderful. I hope to use them this weekend or my camping trip coming up end of June.
Have a wonderful day.

The best way to avoid from having mosquitoes inside your room, your house or outside your house is simply CLEANLINESS. Make sure everything is clean, don't leave any stagnant waters on containers, get the best commercialized spray exclusively for mosquitoes, also you must have this screen for windows and for any open surfaces without disallowing fresh air.


myLot reputation of 87/100. unique16 (1385)   ranked 1,118 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hello LotRowena,
I agree especailly with soda cans that my daughters drink or left in cups in there room. I am constantly bringing them down to clean and there food plates for there snacks. I know mosqutoes like sugar stuff. Yes, in the bathroom to tub and sink dry after use especailly if the window is open. I do have screens on all windows but somehow through the cracks they get in.
Thanks for the replay and have a great day

I would use a squirt bottle with pure apple cider vinegar in it, and spray it everywhere. It works for everything, including fleas.

Hello Irishmist,
Very interesting idea. I did not know this. Thanks for the reply.

I use Bert's Bees all natural Herbal Insect Repllent. It works so well. And Burt's Bees is a company that makes all natural products. I wanted something that would work, but wouldn't be sticky. Not only is it not sticky, it smells just fine. There isn't a weird odor that says, hey I'm wearing bug spray! I highly recommend it. You can buy it a lot of places. Like Walgreen, Walmart...
