We always have problems with mosquitoes here. We tried to use coils and mosquito repellent (liquid form), the one Anna is using, but it doesn't seem to work for us anymore. Moreover, since we have young children at home, we try not to use chemical products that might harm them.
I started to use essential oil, as I read it's natural product. I am not sure if it's effective, as it's recommended to apply the oil every two hours but I don't. Sometimes it seems like we are not disturbed by mosquitoes for the whole night, but sometimes there are still mosquito bites.
At least the essential oil sooth my little girl and she doesn't feel much itchiness and can go back to sleep. So, this is the method I am currently using now.

@shshiju I am not good in using that. Sometimes my husband just helps to kill the mosquitoes (with hands) before we sleep, then we just close the door and window and turn on the air-conditioner.
Though I don't really like it, it seems like with air-con turned on, there are less mosquitoes.

During the summers here we sleep under mosquito netting. It doesn't affect air circulation. We have not found an adequate mosquito killing system that we can afford. We live close to marshland and the mosquito population is huge.
