What's the best way to keep mosquitoes from getting you?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stay indoors: The best way to avoid mosquitoes is to avoid where/when they are active. Stay indoors during dusk and dawn, wear long sleeves and pants, hat, and use insect repellant. Eliminate any stagnant or standing water around your house to minimize their chance to breed.

Mosquitoes: Mosquito safety- use bed netting when sleeping. Spray the walls of the home with insecticide. Stay inside or wear long pants & long sleeved shirts from dusk to dawn. Use Permethrin spray on clothing and mosquito netting. Deet agents can be used on skin. Aloe Vera & Basil are natural deterrents.
