Honestly. What is the best mosquito repellent?

Brief

beef fat!!! rub it all over. the mosquito thinks you're a cow and won't be able to penetrate your hide.

Mandate social distancing for insects. THat should work.

Oh FFS here we go

I'm asking this on GLP because I know someone knows

Use a fan, mosquitos hate wind

You may try to find a good safe space, but that would be in error. I imagine they are more aggressive now like the bees. Perhaps relating to Bill Gates. Ask him to stop.

But don't break wind, or the spell is broken.

Then eat lots of beans

Lather them up with A1

I have this Plant when the leaves die off I burn..
Best mozzy replant. Never allow them to breed.. empty all buckets full of water etc that collect water.

As for me I I burn gumtree leaves..or that plants dead follaige. A small jar of vix as a table centre peace..

Winter

Garlic. True.

Mossies can't see jack, they only hone in on the carbon exhaled fron your breath. That's all they can see, via infrared, honed to carbon from breath.

Eat a clove of garlic, and it acts as a chemtrail, diluting the band visible by the mosquito to the point it thinks nothing there to go towards.

'Off deep woods' aerosol spray.. use it every hour or so..

up here in Canada in the woods in summer it is one of the few that works.

or get any spray with high percentage DEET in it eg. 30% or more.. is it toxic..? yeah.. or be bit to death.

always use aerosol because you can put it on clothes too.. anything you rub on is not even in coverage.

You're right about the CO2 (carbon dioxide) bit:

But what if you don't want to stink of garlic?
There are actually commercial CO2 mosquito traps
OR
You could just burn some incense or leaves like mentioned earlier - fire releases loads of CO2 which will disorient those little bacteria carriers...

This is the best way probably that I've found too, especially for sleeping.

An electric mosquito net !

Vanilla. it works well, smells nice, and can be licked off.

Smoke a blunt.

Buy your own Citronella oil from a health food store. Dilute it with some distilled water and put it in your own spray bottle.

I've heard said that if you don't eat sugar they will be attracted to you less.

Hot piss, OP. works every time..

Yak urine

Thermacell
Best thing I know of...if you don't want deet

Lemon grass spray, and if you have a cider tree burn the green close to you they don't like the oil in the blue smoke

Screen in your porch or use mosquito netting. I live in Ga, there is no help. You can hire a company to spray regularly. You can get a bug zapper.

Mosquitoes don't like the sun. They hang out in the shade in the shrubbery during the day waiting for the cool of the evening which is when I go inside.

Hope you're not in Florida. They have the biggest mosquitoes I have ever seen in my life.

Skin so soft works on no see 'ems (biting nats or sand fleas), no help for mosquitoes sorry.

Yep. Freeze kills em.

Listerine.
