Tea tree oil is great; the smell is a bit strong, but the benefits outweigh the smell...if you have already been bitten, it is a natural antiseptic, and it also dissuades the hungry mosquito from dining on you. Citronella is also a great air-based deterrent if you burn the candles OUTDOORS. 2 proven home remedies are a Fabric dryer softener sheet rubbed on you prior to exposure, and Avon's Skin So Soft lotion runs them too. Also, a green tea bag is great to place in fridge after you have your tea; apply the tea bag as a cold compress to the bites.

for bites just use rubbing alcohol. wipe on the bites and it stops the itching. it also keeps mosquitos from biting again if you rub any exposed areas,if that is not an option then skin so soft works really well to repel them

Nets to keep them out when you are indoors. Lemon grass oil or similar oils for keeping them off your skin outdoors. Herbal mosquito repellent coils are available as also those conaining Allethrin but I am assuming you don't want that solution.

anything with DEET in it will keep them away, just look in the ingredients
and sadly, there is no cure, but ice helps the itching
