I'm getting bit by a lot of misquitos.?


Question:Does anyone know of any solutions to getting rid of them ? I need solutions involving things I already have around the house. ie. soap solutions, ect.

Answers:
Stuff around the house??? Hmmm if it was that easy that would be wonderful. If you want something natural, you could try the citronella plant. Its a scenter geranuim with dark green, palmate leaves and smells like citronella. Very pretty plus effective. I live in FL and am a plant lover so I plan on trying to keep some citronella plants as well as maybe plant some lemon eucalyptus trees to see if that helps keep the mosquitos away. These are both tropicals so depending on where you live in the country that may not work for you.

Stuff around the house though? I think your out of luck. Sorry. Just stay inside. :)


buy anitmisquito roll on, such as "OFF!" it really helps and keeps the bugs away. but if u have already been bit, put nesporin or an icepack that will keep u from itching but at the same time get rid of the bites. spray (that stings alot) gets rid of it really fast
try to find the souce, if you have old water standing around somewhere in the garden where musqitos like to lay there eggs, there are special type of plants you can put in your garden,citronella is what they are called here,lemon type smelling plant,when you rub the leaves it smells citrusshi.
i also heard that musqito's like certain types of fragrances so you might wanna look into that,could be your perfume or bodylotion, good luck with it.o and yes, of course, eat lots of garlic it will than get into your blood and they hate that
buy a mosquito magnet and follow the directions the most expensive one is very effective
Go get a homeopathic pill with a little sulfur in it.I had to ask the pharmacist for my granddaughter,he gave her the one with sulfur and it worked.Where I was living the bugs were tormenting her and they help.
I don't know many home remedies for avoiding misquitoes, but I find that Avon Skin So Soft works best. It doesn't stink like OFF does, and it's also good for your skin.

One other thing is to avoid eating bananas or keeping banana-scented things around. I don't know if you're a big banana eater, but the scent comes out of your pores and attracts misquitoes. (Just a little tip I learned at summer camp as a kid!)

Good luck!! ;)
