What do you do to prevent yourself from mosquito?

Hi nzalheart Mosquitoes are great nuisance.First thing is you can not sleep.Second thing is you might get some health problems. So I take lot of care to escape from mosquitoes bite.. Though in the market so many things like mosquito mat, mosquito coil,mosquito cream,mosquito liquid are available,they are irritating to use because of chemicals. The age old mosquito net is the best but it is good only when we are sleeping. So what Works best for me is the Netlon wire mesh that is fixed in all windows and ventilators.Because of this no mosquitoes get inside the house.And to kill few mosquitoes that enter through doors,I use mosquito bat. Happy mylotting

Hi nzalheart, very unlike the situation in your country, it’s still lucky that the people in your place facing the mosquito problem only during the hot summer season. I wonder whether there is any mosquito during the other colder seasons. Here in my place, the weather here is hot year in and year out. We are disturbed by the disgusting little mosquitoes the whole year round. I dislike mosquito coil or mosquito spray, for I’m allergic to the smell of these repellent incense. Sleeping in the mosquito net is uncomfortable and uneasy as well. We prefer to spend extra money to fix all the windows and both the front and back doors with aluminum gauzes and hope this would be once for all. Yeah, nowadays we don’t have bother much about the nasty blood suckers Of course we have to make sure that the doors have to close nicely after going in and out. Happy posting.

Well me I use the mosquito bat! :) haha Me and my mom were shopping one day and we found this new gadget called the electric mosquito bat :) Have you heard of it? It looks like a badminton racket and when a mosquito goes near that gadget it will be electrocuted haha! :) plus it's rechargeable and fun to use.. :) I love to kill mosquitoes that way :)

I've seen on tv that you should avoid wearing blue clothing since it will attract mosquitoes all the more. You could also try using mosquito repellant lotion. But the most effective way is to keep your surrounding clean. Remove any stagnant water because in this way they won't have a place to reproduce.

Have your fan turned on when you are sitting alone. That would be the best prevention from those annoying insects. I use fan for this purpose but I get a big problem in winter time. I use a think blanket everytime so that I can avoid them biting my precious blood! After we work hard to get those circulating in our body, how can we donate it to them for free!

well i never use any sort of creams or anything that comes in contact with the skin. I usually use the smoke which is used to kill them, it works really good and atleast i can sleep at night peacefully in the night.

Yup, mosquitoes could be annoying,so when we built our house almost 19 years ago, we had it screened all over...meaning to say, all the doors and windows have screens on them, and when they get destroyed, we just replace them from time to time, so we don't have problems with mosquitoes inside the house. There's also no need of mosquito nets, too. We also just spray once a month, so that's how we solved the problem...

Once i used the anti mosquito lotion, but after i heard someone that the lotion was dangerous i quit to using it. So now I am using Racket electric to prevent mosquito bother my family, maybe it took more effort to use it, because you have to chase and slam it to them(mosquito) and push the electric button to get work and the mosquito will suffer from electric shock.

for the welfare of my whole family at home we are using baygon katol..for my skin to prevent mosquitoes bite i used off lotion so that mosquito wont bite me...sometimes we are not so secure of the electric fan at home that is why we are using mostikero...or a transparent cloth so that mosquito wont enter..

For us by just turning on the electric fan drives mosquitos away. Thou just few mosquitos around as our doors and windows were fully screened, but because of the screen too much heat around that maybe even mosquitos won't survive (lol).

Well, Its a creative thread. I would like to give my comment on it. When mosquitoes are there in your home. You start scolding them by using worst words. Then they will feel bad about you and never come to your home. Idea Number two:- Speak loud in your house that some one is gonna put a bomb in your home (make sure that the mosquitoes here this. Then they will never come back). Jus kidding.. Use coils and mosquito tablets. They will save you. Do not make any stagnant water around your place. This is the first cause of mosquito generation.

I think that I have tried everything, coils, sprays, etc. It hasn't even rained here in months but still there are mosquitoes and nothing seems to stop them. Every nite before I go to bed I close up my bedroom, spray the room and leave it for about a half an hour. Then I come in turn on the fans and without fail there is always one buzzing around me. I hate the darn things!

Better have you doors and windows screened. it's expensive but it will prevent the entry of mosquito inside. and it's really effective. I live in a house surrounded with plants with so many mosquitos too but we do have this screen doors. so mosquito is not a problem. You can use plant repelant too. you can place it inside the house.

My mom gets this lotion, I think it is cactus juice lotion or something like that, and we put that on. It is both a sunscreen and bug repellent. I really like the smell of it, and it leaves our skin soft and smooth, too. That works most of the time, but if the bugs are really bad (like in the woods), then we have to use spray, too.

We use a product called OFF it works better than anything else I have ever tried. It comes in spray form. You have close your eyes and hold your breath while someone else sprays it on you all over you body except your face, then you just kind of spray a little on your hands and pat your face a bit, then wash you hands because you don't want to injest it, but it works really well.

If you can afford to, have the windows and doors screened. Clean house thoroughly and apply mosquito repellent (DEET-free ones are best, esp if you have kids). Mix a few drops of citronella essential oil with a bucket of water and use this to mop the floor or wipe surfaces. Mosquito coils bother me because of my asthma, but there are candles (citronella ones included) that have essential oils in them that are natural bug repellents.

apply ointment that does not give any side effect after application or consult doctor for some medication for prevention of disease.

Here in the Philippines we have a lots of mosquito I don't worry to much because they are not a carrier of dengue or malaria. Mosquito coil is not advisable if you have asthma. I think using mosquito net soak in insecticides is much better like what are using in Africa. I spray insecticides and clean every corner of our house to eliminate this problem. Dengue during the rainy season is very common here so cleanliness is the best prevention to fight these mosquitoes. Applying insect repellant or lotion to your skin are very helpful.

I usually just ignore them as I find that if I actively try to get rid of them they eat me more. Something to do with sweat or pheromones I believe. However what my family uses is a spray of some sort and citronella candles.

yes in hot season ,its very hot ,the number of mosquitoes disturbing us are also incerasingon and on .we dont have that for all rooms.
