Try lemongrass and marigolds, strong fragrances of both plants also keep mosquitoes away.

Yes Kalyani, I have both the plants in my garden ...but one plant of Citronella kept inside the house is really amazing.The only problem is that it is difficult to grow it since it requires light . So , now I mix a few drops of Citranella oil into water and keep it around the room..

Mosquito repellents can be made with simple things available in home.

You need a spray bottle. Add neem oil and liquid soap. Shake well and apply directly to the exposed skin.

I belong to o blood group people and yes sometimes I feel I suffer more from mosquito bites than the surrounding people.

I too belong to O group people but never have this problem. In fact, my friends with other blood types have this problem so I seriously doubt the authenticity of such studies.

One of the reasons for Mosquito bites is unhygienic surroundings. The best way to avoid Mosquito bite is to   burn a few leaves of Neem and hang at the entrance of your room. The other way is to sleep under the protection of Mosquito net.

Babies no matter what blood group they belong to get bitten by mosquitoes the most ! In fact there are many other reasons why mosquitoes bite us , not just because of a certain blood grouping which is but one reason..

Blood type can also influence, how likely you are to get bitten by mosquitoes. Researchers say that people with type O are twice as likely to get bitten as those with type B

I am listening first time about, I hear that mosquitoes attract to the smell of sweat.

It's news to me. That's, in order to repel mosquitoes we should sleep in a place, where air flows freely. And there will not be sweating. Or one can sleep in an A/C room. If there is no A/C, one can sleep under a fan.

Yes we have not any problem of mosquitoes at at place where air flow freely and under the fan.

True...there are many more reasons why some people are bitten more than others, I think people with diabetes too might be the ones who get bitten more! However, since my son was born, we made it a habit to sleep under a mosquito net, at all times, better safe than sorry!

Quite an informative article given in the link. Blood group is not the only factor that contributes to mosquito bite,.
