Answer 1

When I went on holiday to France, the local Bed and Breakfast had this device plugged into the wall socket where it emits a fragrance that keeps mosquitoes out of that room. Not sure if they sell them over here though?

Answer 2

Isn't that mosquito high pitched buzz awful at night? I hate it. Mosquitoes breed in water so if you can, go round your property to make sure that there is no stagnant standing water such as found in litter like tin cans, in permanent puddles where the ground could be levelled out etc.
Spray your bedroom about half an hour before you go to sleep, not just into the room but into the corners, under furniture, along the tops of curtains or blinds because that is where they like to hang out. I lived in the tropics for many years and nightly vigilance with the spray can worked wonders and I was rarely bitten once under the net. If you do not like to spray there are quite a few anti mosquito repellents, electronic etc. on the market you could try if you haven't already done so.

Answer 3

Mosquitos breed in stagnant, swampy areas, creeks etc. including your water barrel if you are storing water for your garden so not knowing what your locality is like look to see if you can remove or alter the potential source. The larva need to keep visiting the surface to breath so you could try putting a thin film of oil, baby oil even, it doesn't have to be car engine but the principle is the same. The oil film defeats their breathing capability. Another option is to consider putting or encouraging fish into the water to eat the larva but not as well as the oil, they are alternatives ! and never introduce alien species into the natural water sources. Some people are more attractive to the mosquito than others perhaps you're one of the unlucky ones. And yes garlic sometimes works, we feed garlic to our horses as it is supposed to deter the mosies.

Every year I get eaten alive too so I know how you feel. This year I haven't had one bite . The reason for this is lavender oil. I love the smell of lavender and since I find it relaxes me, I bought a bottle and every night before I go to bed, I sprinkle some drops on my pillow and bedding. I sleep with my windows wide open and am surrounded by water filled ditches here in the fens and a big pond in my garden so prime mozzie territory. This year, not one bite! The little blighters seem to hate the smell of lavender oil.
Try to avoid insect sprays. They are primarily made up of organo phosphates which cause cancer. Who fancies sleeping in a room breathing in the stuff all night. Besides, it only kills the ones in the room at the time of spraying and not the ones which fly into your room while you sleep.

Answer 5

How long have you been in Germany?? There IS indeed a speed limit on parts of the Autobahn....funny you didn't know that.
-Anywho, they used to make those plug ins for electrical outlets and they really work. Haven't been over there in a while, so I'm not sure if they still make them.
-Can you get window screen material? I know the Germans aren't big on screens, but they sure work for me. NOT opening the window in Germany in the Summer is not an option either, most places do not have AC. So, get some of those plug ins and
-if you can stand it, eat lots of fresh garlic. You can kiss your dating life good bye though.
-Drink beer, lots of it. Skeeters don't like the smell of German beer oozing out of American pores.
-Look at the bright side, the German Summer doesn't last much longer. It's going to get too cold for them any day now.

Answer 6

I always carry a carton of Washing up liquid with me ( Squeezy
liquid ) when travelling in Mosquito areas.
I squeeze a small shot of the liquid soap into any stagnant water pools around my Villa.
The soap breaks up the waters surface tension and the mosquito larvae
drown/
You destroy thousands of Mosquitoes this way.
Repeat after a rainstorm

Answer 7

Hey! You can buy Mosquito repelent candles and light them while you're outside,and also use a skin repelent containing deat,and make sure you have no standing water around your house,that's only breeding ground for millions of the critters. Buy candles with citronella.

Answer 8

You can try lemon scented candles, they repell mosquitoes. I also read an article on the internet about marmite & it said that if you eat that regularly then the mosquitoes won't bite ya. I hate them too!

Answer 9

Get a box of Bounce fabric softer run a sheet all over your legs and arms and carry a sheet with you for later for some reason it repells mesquitos.

Answer 10

Other than using insect repellents (one of the commercial ones would be best), try using a fan in your room at night. They don't like the moving air
