I seriously loathe mosquitos! There's nothing like sitting among family and friends and suddenly feeling one bite you and then you're left with a swollen mosquito bite that itches and is irritating.
There are numerous things you can do to keep them away. From plants around your garden or using repellant. I don't have a garden, so I use Off. I keep a couple cans of it on hand at all time's during the summer and spray myself down before I leave the house.
There are also some plants that you can plant some in your garden that repel them like...
Basil ---- Eucalyptus ---- Garlic ---- Lavender
Sage ---- Geraniums ---- Catnip ---- Lemon Balm
Mint ---- Rosemary ---- Lemongrass ---- Peppermint
Citronella is also a great deterrent. Those pesky buggers hate the smell and tend to stay away. I always find a few in the house during the summer, they come in through the screen door or through the cracks in the windows. We do have a few unsealed spots in our windows. At least I do upstairs. lol
I usually candles burning, but I also have a bug zapper that sits on my windowsill right in front of that crack in my bedroom. The living room as well one is my favorite at the moment!
