The new lemon/euclyptus repellants work great. Not as long lasting as DEET. Good for a couple hours or so though. You can find 'em just about anywhere now.

Drink Tonic water, it contains a mineral called Quinina (In spanish, I don't know the English word) and that mineral is known for repell Mosquitos.

if its ok to have small amount of smokes in your house, u can use those fuming sticks Asian people use for religious purposes. It has a good fragnance and the smoke it produces will drive most of the mosquitoes out.
If you need complete protection put mosquetoes in every windows, doors and airvents.

DEET is an insect-repellent chemical (Chemical call: N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide or N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide or Benzamide, N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-). that's meant to be utilized to the exterior or to clothing, and is in maximum cases used to guard against insect bites. especially, DEET protects against tick bites (which transmit Lyme ailment) and mosquito bites (which transmit dengue fever, West Nile fever and malaria).

Rub a bounce fabric softner sheet on you and tuck one through a belt loop while outside. Works pretty good!!!!
Avons skin so soft spray too.

Grow a citronella plant and place them around your house. They smell wonderful but the bugs hate them! They especially smell good when you water them and then the sun hits them.

sounds weird and ironic, but if you hang a plastic (sealed) bag of water in or outside your house, it should help.

one of my teachers in high school told me that if you take vitamin B 12, the mosquitos won't bite you.
I don't know if it's true, but sounds like it might work.
