How to beat mosquitos naturally?

I stayed with this Buddhist woman in Nepal for a month and no killing was the law in her home. She taught me how to catch a mosquito in my palm and let it out the window. Not to mention, I wasn't master of this art (and still aren't), so some nights I just had to accept and sleep in theirzzz company

Spiders are your best friends 😏

I have peppermint growing up in one flower bed, will grab a handful of it and rub it all over my head, face, neck and arms, usually wear long pants if not rub it on my legs too. It keeps them from biting although they’ll come up close and buzz around me, which I don’t like either.

The holy spirit

They say citrus and witch hazel is effective. I’ve not found this to be the case.

Vanilla extract on your arms and legs.

Staying indoors after the 4th of July 😎.

In all seriousness, even though I live in the mosquito capital of the world (Wisconsin), things are generally ok outside n the summer until about 6:30/7. It's that outdoor yard drinking that gets me really chewed up.

Put a spider nearby.

Maybe more wind would help... but, i don't have the power to play with the wind. 🤔

And, I don't want it too windy.

Get a high speed fan, or incense stick or candle. Also you clap on mosquito.

Move

Catch one mosquito in a non-lethal trap. Make sure the other mosquitoes are watching, then slowly torture the mosquito in front of them. Tell them that this is what will happen to all of them if they don't leave you alone.
