Time for the Missouri Slap

This title is so funny to watch. It refers to constantly slapping away mosquitos and being too stubborn to take our butts back inside.
We were the last county in our area to have a patient with the virus. But as of yesterday we officially have one.
What I'm afraid to ask anyone who would really know, is can a mosquito transmit the virus?
The whole H1N1 was pass through a mosquito. If that is the case I'm doomed. My whole town is. We harvest more mosquito than the African Rainforest. You can literally go outside for 30 seconds, and wear sleeves of mosquitos.
Last year we bought us some of the tennis racket, a style of a bug zapper. I had shorted mine out in an hour. Not that it wasn't satisfying. I just really liked shocking the little pest.
Every year around mid-June we cut back the grass as low as we can get it, remove anything around the door they can hide behind, by as many cans of off as we can get our hands-on, and seal ourselves up inside the house.
I have even gone so far as to challenge, the makers, of Off to come here and try to find out why they get so bad here. And find something that will repel them.
And every year that we have been using Off, I have noticed a decline in the amount of time it repels them. Then you will also go ahead and get them a drink.
So far, no word back from them not that I really expected one.
Have any of you Lotters found something that really repels them?
Or the other issue. Can the COVID be transmitted through mosquito bites?

@madgreer77 Sorry, I don't understand this comment. Are you telling us that only the mosquitos in Missouri are bothersome?

@MALUSE No, anywhere other than Missouri they do not bother me. Specifically the town I live in. I just don't want to put my hometown out there for the whole internet to see. :)
