Do you hate mosquitoes?

Yes, I hate mosquitoes and fortunately it isn't the time for them here, still too cold.. But I did have a lot of home remedies I use, you can pick or choose which works best.. 1. eat a lot of garlic, mosquitoes hate garlic in their blood..lol 2. Avons skin so soft, both lotion and oil repels mosquitoes 3. Used fabric softener sheets. Just tie one around your belt loop or any other place you can tie one 4. for the outdoors, if you can. start a fire, they hate smoke and if you can stand it, get the smoky smell on you, they don't like it..

Haha... everybody's answer to this will be "I Hate Them Toooo"... If mosquito was a pet animal... oops pet insect, then the chances were more that ppl loved it. LoL I hate them too. but luckily no mosquitoes in my house... A clean house u know ;) But during summer, sometimes there are mosquitoes. We use the mosquito net or the spray to get rid of them :)

I generally do not attract mosquitoes. I have heard that lemon scented plants will repel them. I like natural repellents better than chemicals.I do not know if the sonic thingy works. I have sonic thingies for mice,in my house but I am still occasionally getting mice. I think that either they have worn out or that I need more for the size of house I have. I have seen things that you put in the back yard and they attract mosquitoes and kill them. I do not know if you have a house or are in an apartment, I am sure that will make a difference in what you are able to do about the mosquitoes.

I loathe mosquitoes. The best way I find to repel them, (bearing in mind we only have little ones in my country), is to burn citronella candles. They will deter them. To keep them off your actual body, prepare your own herbal repellent, which you can rub on your skin, by mixing together 2 ounces witch hazel extract and 60 drops citronella essential for a 5% dilution, or 2 ounces witch hazel extract and 120 drops citronella for a 10% dilution. I guess the stronger one would be better for you. Brightest Blessings.

I've heard that water in a white plate with lemon joy dish detergent does the trick! It draws them to it instead of you! Preventing YOU from getting bit!

I really, really, really dislike mosquitos (I would say hate, but my husband hates it when I use the word hate ;P ) Those things eat me alive. We some out now and we are not sure where they are coming from because our neighbor has actually kept her pool clean this winter. I usually just rub anti-itch cream on after I get bit. I have used those cinterlla (sp) candles - they're okay. I heard that the B complex works extremely well, but I am not very good at taking pills. I also heard if you eat a lot of garlic they will leave you alone, but every one else will probably leave you alone too!

of course I hate mosquitoes but I am always plagued with flea bites all year around and they have scarred my legs for life. Sometimes I just want to kill myself

You know, I always have this impression that Singapore is free of those pestering mosquitoes.:P Mosquitoes are a no-no to me. They are one of the sources that triggered my allergy. I have screens installed on my windows and doors. I also make sure that my house is always squeaky clean. I don't find that sonic thingy you mentioned effective in repelling the mosquitoes. A friend suggested using a perfumed incense sticks. You can choose the citronella or citrus scent and my friend swore by its effectiveness in driving away mosquitoes.

I hate mosquitos. Did you know ladybugs eat mosquitos. And so do bats. I know several people that live near woody areas that put up bat houses. We can actually sit outside at night and watch the bat swoop down over a pond near one friends house. It's going after the mosquitos. Another friend had ladybugs by the hundreds on the windows of her chicken house. When I asked why she had so many, she said she was happy they were there because they eat moquitos. I don't know if I would put up a bat house. Maybe if they got real bad around my house. I do have a wooded area very close to it. I like ladybugs, but not by the hundreds. In the meantime, I use a spray I get from Avon that works quite well. Also, Avon has skin so soft products that deter mosquitos and softens my skin at the same time. PEACE

Yes, I hate mosquitoes and know that it is only some you can catch malaria from but they are all horrible biting insects. I take vitamin B tablets before I travel to the tropics this is meant to make me taste bad to a mosquito. I read this tip in a magazine. I buy insect repellent to use when the sunsets. In the Maldives a mosquito foil burnt every evening in my room on one of the islands I stayed on. I cover up with a mosquito net around my bed at night. I have also been bitten with sand flies they are similar to mosquitoes but they come out in the day. Baby oil on my legs keeps them away.

those sonic things suck.i had a bunch in my house,they did exactly squat. citronella seems to work the best,i can sit in my yard with a few candles,unbothered by them. we have a high lyme disease risk local,i definetly try to keep them away.

Hello lordwarwizard. I love mosquitoes...not! It is said that planting neem trees has a repelling effect on mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are attracted by our breathing out carbon dioxide (http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/how_it_works_faqs), when I remember this fact, I sometimes try not to breath for a few minutes around mosquitoes...lol Putting efficascent oil does seem to help repel them. Ive tried mosquito coils - they make me sleepy ;) What works best for me though is spraying a room.

I must say I can not stand misquitoes. Gosh, if they HAD to bite us to survive (which they do), if only they didn't have to make us puff up and itch like crazy. I think itchiness is like torture, really! And what makes it harder is that I don't have it in my heart to kill them. I have to blow them off if I catch them sucking. But they can't help it, ya know. They didn't choose to make themselves like that. We ourselves (humans I mean), kill like crazy and gobble down, without getting slapped and squashed at a wink of the eye. ;o/

I don't know why they were invented - Mother Nature has got some serious questions to answer on this one! I don't think a single animal on this earth loves 'em. I know I hate them, especially when I have sprayed the room at night (about 2 hrs before we go to bed) then just before we tuck ourselves in I open the window (with Mozzie net, of course!) and we go to sleep peacefully. Then around 3-4am we hear that buzzing and start scratching where the devil has bitten us. That's it no more sleep for us. At times we have sat up and waited to find the little devil so that we can spray it to oblivion, but no such luck, it stays hidden until the light goes off and then off it goes again..... I don't really think anything really works that well. They seem to be able to evolve around anything that we conjure up, so save your money and use the cheap versions (I think these sonic ones are quite expensive, aren't they?) You can see them sitting there all in a row just waiting for a good feast as the sun goes down... mmmm, blood tonight!

I hate those little vampires. Apparently they love sweet blood (whatever that may mean). My blood must be pure sugar because those beasts eat me alive. They won´t go anywhere near my husband, he never has a single mosquito bite. God knows what kind of blood he has. Possible remedies: you can buy special light bulbs which keep mosquitos away. Put them as close to open doors or windows as possible, best would on balcony or terrace, that way they won´t even come in. I´ve put a bulb like that in my balcony light and have a lot less mosquitos in the house since then. Disadvantage: You must keep the lights on all night, if you sleep with the windows open.

I hate mosquitoes (I wonder who doesn't). But luckily we don't have any mosquitoes here even though we stay right next to a lake...the reason being (I think) they can't fly up to the 6th floor. That's the only reason I can find considering that they are loads of mosquitoes at the ground level....and none at home. So, go higher up to get rid of mosquitoes.

OMG, they are so bad here in my part of Maryland. You can tell that the state does not spray anymore. It doesn't help that the people who live behind us have an inground pool but they let the rain, muck, tadpoles, frogs, mosquitoes, etc. take over. It's a breeding ground for them. My husband is constantly throwing chemicals in it to get them to stop breeding. He actually found someting new he is going to try. The sad thing is that the people don't care. They just put up some type of plastic fence so the dog wouldn't fall into it. I know it is a health issue but we don't know who to turn to in the local government. We have mosquitoes 24/7. I use to use repelleant that didn't have DEET in it but they don't work, so we switched back so my girls could play outside. sad.

Yes! when there is one sneaky one that keeps buzzing around my head at night when I am trying to sleep. I like scratching mosquito bites though. It's such a relief and feels really good. lol. But I think I will avoid being bit considering they could all be carrying diseases. :(

I hate mosquitos. The only living creature I kill intentionally. There are days when I go on a killing spree, I bet I'm already wanted in the mosquito world. You can have me convicted if you wanted to, I'm not going to deny it. lol. I doubt that the sonic thingy works. It does look cool. But I hate to waste a lot of eletricity, I'm trying to save the earth and all. My mother tries to make smoke every afternoon to kill all insects, especially on her mango tree. hehe. I know it's also bad for the environment, but it hits two birds in one stone, so it's better than the sonic thingy, and the mosquito coil. Aside from me and my family squashing every mosquito within reach, we also have a lot of lizards in the house. They do help. We have a mutual relationship with them. We benefit from each other. hehe. I also always keep the fan directed at me. I don't think the mosquitos can fly properly if there's a strong wind.

I have always wondered what purpose do mosquitoes have? I use citronella candles, and essential oil products for the skin! I also stay indoors after dark most of the time. It is good to eliminate all standing water from your property so you can minimize the breeding of more mosquitoes! Incense and punks are good for keeping insects away while outdoors. Screens on the windows are a great way to keep mosquitoes out of the house! Otherwise I would use a mosquito net if I lived in an area with huge mosquitoes! Soaking in a bath with essential oils helps even if you do get bit! I like essential oil of lavender for my bath and skin as well as in my shampoo!
