Idea

The smell of cloves works as a mosquito repellent.

  • Put a plate with at least 50 or 60 cloves in the room or next to your computer or your bed.
  • You can also take a ball of hard foam and stick the little cloves into it. Hang it on a ribbon in the room or close to your bed.

It smells good; it looks nice and helps to keep the mosquitoes away.
This may at no time be taken as an alternative for anti malaria drugs or any other drug.

mosquito repelant

I heard that citronella is also good. And I actually tried it and it does work.

Never heard of this clove idea but definitely will try it.

I hope this work. I really don't like to use the chemical alternatives. Yes they kill bugs but they end up inside the blood causing toxicity of different types.

Hmmmm....

Will give it a try. Thanks for the information.
