A familiar buzz near your ear, erratic flight patterns, and then—ouch! An itchy bite. Despite advice not to scratch, it's hard to resist. Instead of enduring it, fight back effectively with expert-backed methods to repel mosquitoes.
Ready to stay bite-free? Here are three proven strategies.
Strategy 1: Block Entry Points (Only female mosquitoes bite.) When arriving home at dusk, close shutters before turning on lights to prevent them from being attracted inside. For open windows or doors, install mosquito screens—they're practical and highly effective.

Strategy 2: Fortify Your Bedroom Protect your sleep with a bed canopy mosquito net. Even with windows open, it creates an impenetrable barrier.

Strategy 3: Use Targeted Repellents and Insecticides Opt for aerosol bombs, electric diffusers, or citronella coils (bonus: pleasant scent). For personal protection, Mosquito Guard sprays and creams for skin and clothing are particularly reliable.

Skip these. Tests by UFC-Que Choisir confirm they don't work: ultrasounds (plugged or portable), essential oils, citronella bracelets, geranium oil, and candles fail to prevent bites. Plants like geraniums won't deter hungry females either.
Stick to mosquito nets and proven insecticides—used responsibly—for real protection.
