Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide as well as the warmth and humidity we give off as we breath. They follow the trail, flying in a zigzag pattern, until they find the source. In addition, they are also attracted to certain chemicals in your sweat. And mosquitoes love a moving target -- it helps them zero in.
They are not only noise nuisance but a health threats too causing several diseases.
You can protect yourself without having to use a DEET-based chemical repellent. DEET products have the potential to cause health and environmental problems. You might choose to avoid using these products unless you’re visiting places that have a high risk for mosquito-borne diseases like Zika.
If you’re doing things like taking a hike, hanging out in your backyard, or taking a camping trip, natural repellents might be a better option. This can be especially true for children, who are more sensitive.
Here is one that has been my savior.
Mix one part of Citriodora Essential Oil with 5 parts of Coconut Oil in a bottle and shake so it mixes well.
Any brand can be used I chose to use one by Moksha.
Apply a few drops of it on your skin and rub it all over to get rid of the mosquitoes!
