No More Standing Water: Mosquitoes lay their eggs in still water. So, if you want fewer mosquitoes, don't let water sit around in things like pet bowls.
Use Smelly Candles and Oils: Mosquitoes don't like the smell of certain plants. You can use candles or oils that smell like citronella, lemon, lavender, laurel, rosemary, or basil to keep them away.
Grow Mosquito-Repelling Plants: Some plants, like basil and mint, can help keep mosquitoes away. You can grow these plants in pots and place them near windows.
Try Lemon and Clove: Cut a lemon in half, stick some cloves in it, and place it in your room. Mosquitoes don't like this smell.
Make a Garlic Spray: Mosquitoes also don't like the smell of garlic. You can make a spray by soaking garlic cloves in water and then spraying it around your home.
Use Eucalyptus Oil: You can spray eucalyptus oil around your home or mix it with your shampoo or lotion to keep mosquitoes away.
Install Mosquito Nets: You can put mosquito nets on your doors and windows to stop mosquitoes from getting in. You can also put a net over your bed to keep mosquitoes away while you sleep.
Try Camphor: Camphor is another smell that mosquitoes don't like. You can leave some camphor in a container to evaporate, or you can burn some for 20 minutes with all doors and windows closed.
Make a Mosquito Trap: You can make a trap with a plastic bottle, water, sugar, and yeast. The mosquitoes will be attracted to the water and get trapped in the bottle.
Get a Carnivorous Plant: Carnivorous plants eat insects, including mosquitoes. Having one of these plants can help keep your home mosquito-free.
