Garlick is called lansones in Hindi language!!!!
Well it has such a strong odour it can act as a repellant not only for mosquitoes but even fellow human beings!!!
Why not just make a paste of garlick and apply on body and go to any thickly moquitoe populated area and stay for one night with a watch to test the efficacy and the time and give us a feed back.
Including neem leaves there are many such odour to keep mosqitoes out. They all have an effect for four to five hours after which you can apply one more time

I don't really understand.
The best repellent is deet , or just cover up.
