How do you drive away mosquitoes, ants, insects and other bugs away?

i live in a rural city. pretty much the convenience of access to commercial needs and wants but in a small town/ rural setting. although we don't have farmlands nearby, it still is greeny in parts. because of the rainy season, more bugs are abound. we have to keep the area clean with no stagnant waters for mosquitoes to multiply. but that doesn't keep them away much. hehe ants are pretty persistent. soap-scrubbed floors can keep them away for a time but they do come back. when all else failed, my mom used malathion spray. it does smell so (if ever you would use it) i would suggest that you spray it on the area just before you leave for the day so that when you return, the odor will already be gone. for mosquitoes, it would be nice to have your doors and windows screened. if not, natural mosquito repellants are neem trees and citronella plants. when the mosquitoes really bug me, i shower and use an anti-microbial soap with neem tree extracts to keep them away. or you can use off-lotion. often, moths come in thousands also during nights before the rain. as they are attracted to the light, i turn off the lights in the entire house and just keep one outside so they will flock there. it's a feast for the frogs. but as their life span lasts only for a single night, they won't bug you come morning. but you have lots to sweep afterwards. what other bugs do you have there?

That has been our problem before in our house. We like going to sleep with open windows for fresh air to come into the room. However, insects and mosquitoes would come in too. Even geckos would come too. What we did is have our bedroom windows and door screened. From then on, unwanted insects cannot come in anymore. In addition, my mother in-law would sometimes burn the leaves outside of our bedroom, when we are at our work. The smoke drives away the insects.

I have a little thing that can be plugged on the electricity mains and will repel mosquitoes and insects by generating an ultrasound frequency which is barely audible from humans. It was not expensive at all, but to tell you the truth, I am not sure that it really works. But I was never the kind of person who will be bitten by insects constantly. I just use it because their buzz and flying around me annoys me much when trying to sleep. Have a nice day!

Hi... Ill suggest, always clean your surroundings. Always clean your canals, so that the mosquitoes will not stay there. And you may suggest to your municipal to conduct fogging in your area or barangay so that all mosquitoes will not leave there. Maybe it will not cost higher, maybe its minimal.

smoking can drive them away, but if you are not a smoker, you can drive them away by simply light up a mosquito coil.

You can try to put door screen and window screen so you can avoid them to come in your house. But always make sure the the screens is always close. Now,there are also insect spray that smells like a perfume. I think you can also use them because it don't smell bad and they said that insect killer like that is not bad for our health. Here in our place there are rackets that you can swing in the air and when the insect get a touch to it they will die because of the electricity that coming from that racket.

Hiee Friend Well i too live in a rural place and when rainy season starts there is a whole lot of bugs problem and mosquitoes specially. We have sprays in our house but we dont use it much at odor is disgusting. But now we have brought some environment free sprays with odorless and that works fine, if you are still uncomfortable with sprays then you can install window nets they are the best way to prevent bugs in getting into your house also during evening close your main doors and any windows if they are kept open that's the main source of bugs to get in as they are attracted more towards light. Apart from all these you can purchase the electric shock bug killer which has a neon tube installed in it with a small steel electric outlets It works in such a way that it attracts the bugs to it and then get shock this probably the best in defending bugs. Hope i have helped you thank you.

If not the insect spray, you can set up one of those electronic mosquito killer, with fluorescent lights, it attracts mosquito closer and electrify them. Also, you can set you a mosquito net on your bed while you are sleeping. I know they are annoying, but since you are living such area, it seems unavoidable during the summer time. It is worse during the hot temperature too.

I not use anything for mosquitoes because they not hurt me because my blood is bitter but they hurt my sweet and danger husband so they use the bat for killing them.

actually i can make them away from when with air only,but that is the easiest way to push them away from us,but when we really need to kill them then we should use a killer chemicals,in the house only mosquito,ants and cockroach stay most of the time.

yes is a great problem of now a days.in the use mosquito net on the window panel it will not pass the mosquito and insects because in evening they enters in house in large volume, use some eco friendly room spray, apart from these tell your maid to use floor cleaner such as (liazol) and (dettol) floor cleaner, these will decrease the entrance of small worm, insects etc.

Well mosquitoes, bugs and insects can be veru irritating and many a times diseases can be spread by them. its very important that necesary preventive measures are taken and taken at the right time. i have often used pesticides to get rid of them and it works most of the time. you could also do a complete pest control of your house and that could also prevent them from coming. pest control needs to be dont on a regular basis considering that you are staying in an area where there could be a lot of bugs. hope you get rid of this problem as soon as possible. good luck..
