These stupid mosquitoes keep bugging me (see what I did there...). They keep stinging me and drinking my blood. I can't sleep all thanks to them. Is there a good and long term way to get rid of them?

I don't think they will or can sing Lucky since the scales on its legs and head are tough and not penetrated by the stingers... Right?

Actually, they don't 'sting.' .They bite. Make sure there is no standing water where they can lay their eggs, then coat your bare skin with repellant.

They don't really bite either...

They insert their proboscis and suck...

Put a fabric softener sheet in your room and in your pocket. I do it when I go camping and it helps keep mosquitoes away

Eat more garlic! You will find mosquitoes don’t like your blood or the smell of garlic coming from your body !


Yep...i was going to say the same. Garlic!

Is garlic a good mosquito repellent?

The smell of garlic is known to repel mosquitoes. ... Smearing your body with garlic-scented lotion is apparently effective as well, although it will probably repel more than just mosquitoes.
