A friend told me that eating alot of bananas attracts them. Don't know for sure though.

move somewhere that doesn't have them. i'm notoriously allergic to mosquitoes, so i am pleased to have taken this solution. :)

Haha, it's generally not so bad but I'm just going up north for a bit and at the moment there are some cases of dengue fever that have come about via mozzies so I want them to be as unattracted to me as possible!

There are certain oils that will work. Mosquitos breed in standing water, so empty out any buckets outside. Check all the screens in your home. I turn a Vornado fan on at night. It blows right over me. The mosquitos have really weak wings and are not able to fly above me or land on me.

can't quite explain it, but since going raw, they don't like me anymore.

Vitamin B is meant to help as they do not like it.

Personally i use a totally natural insect repellent and the link fr it is here:

Actually just ran into it over the net and than read this thread :)
so it sayd some vanilla drops helps
also my mum has known that "Rose Geranium/Pelargonium" helps to keep them out.
she put this plant on my brothers window and he stopped complaining about them :) also it's very nice to have more plants in the house :P so you get 2 in 1 ^_^
Enjoy and good luck !

I like Bite Blocker, which has a geranium extract in it so it doesn't smell like citronella, which I hate. Lemongrass works too. And gin;)
