There are special tablets for the mosquitoes that work just fine... I hate mosquitoes and in Cyprus the number is increasing year by year.

I tried giving them these tablets Lena but they just refused to swallow them.

The most effective is to have an aircondition and to keep the windows closed Those things about garlic are urban myths. Eating garlic will repel humans but not mosquitoes

Most of Cypriots they try all the techniques above and many more...and end up with the aircondition!! I agree with Sotos!!

To be honest sometimes depend what branch you use. Some of them dont do much...
I remember years ago having a king of lamp for the mosquitoes that kill them. But it was not so effective. And spray are not good for the environment and our health. They can kill you as well with mosquitoes.
As Sotos said cool air keep them away ... so aircondition is the best solution i guess!!

I remember last year waking up after being bitten by a mozzie.

I got up and went to the kitchen to get the insecticide spray from under the sink. I'm short sighted so I wear contact lens but take them out at night.

I got the spray and saw the mozzie buzzing around the bedside light, I gave it a good blast from the aresol and was astonished to see it turn white, it started flying slower and slower and then crashed to the floor where it shattered like glass!

I found my specs and discovered I'd given it a blast of "Spray Starch" my wife uses for keeping creases whilst ironing.

This method of killing mozzies is probably not so effective as fly spray but more rewarding. I have a small collection of crystal white insects, perfectly preserved as trophies on my study shelf.

Poor mosquitoes. Nobody loves them. Everybody wants them dead Where are our animal lovers to protest this behavior?

I've been bit by a thing so small you can't see
But if I had seen it no more would it be
For a thing so small to cause so much irritation
To kill it there would be lots of mitigation

The problem is by the time you know it
Its been and gone and your skin does show it
Then it itches like mad and you have to scratch it
Then it becomes sore and you have to watch it

I'm getting some stuff that repels mozzies they say
I'll give it a try and if it works, Whay Hay!!
What would please me more is if I could bash it
There would be so much pleasure if I could thrash it
