How to repel mosquitos thru the natural way

[Unrepented]

No problem and thanks for advice if one has access to the nea service.

Most sgps lacks the correct attitudinal frame of mind, approach and motivation to acquire more knowledge because most are in a well, maybe a pot with the water slowly boiling and still feeling the comfort of a warm bath. That's why old man say sgp daft.

But my objective is to know more ways to repel mosquitos. The knowledge will serve one well, if one is moving around and about, and not just in Singapore. And make do with resources in the particular locality in the absence of NEA, citronella candles, no ciggies, etc. Even if you go for vacation, or vehicle break down along highway and stuck somewhere foreign farmland without reasonable amenities.

Hope no offense taken, just trying to explain my approach in this project to repel mosquitos.

this is from experience. i had this problem where some nights i may be killing like 5 mosquitos. i tried insect spray, plants, repellant, etc. but they just keep coming. it stopped when they came to check for the breeding sites. now i get a good night sleep.

Monks live in temples, not jungles LOL

Jungle monks also got, they live like Rambo, carry big umbrella, call themselves Phra Thudong

I dont know much about monks but that sounds like hermits to me.

I dont think they call that temple, they call it monastery. Temples are for priests more likely.

No point. Let nature be. Only kill them when they bother you.

Insects are a nuisance and especially mozzies, they are parasitic and ought to be extirpate, eradicated, bother you or not regardless.

Spare me the England powder. Whatever they call, monks live in nice place almost like palace. Surely not jungles. Whether temple or monastery anyway, they burn so much incense such no mozzie LOL

It is said that there are ascetical monks that choose to live in the forest if jungle is not the word for you. In the wilderness they do not have the luxury of burning incense and what amazes me is that monks in their beliefs are said to refrain from killing even if the mozzies are feeding on them. Can you live up to that, I certainly cant.:*:

I squashed the lemon grass sufficiently for it to give off the aroma and placed in a room.

So far so good, no mosquito.

Safe and cheap method for the baby's room.

Monks are lazy conmen. Live in what forest? They con people and country to donate well enough for them to live and laze around in temples lined in gold and marble. And those temples lined in gold and marble can become tourist attraction for more free income. Just like the grandiose cathedrals in the west. All religions are conjobs.

Yeah, I like the aroma too and it's natural. Currently I use Citronella Oil, aroma wise relatively quite identical.

The irony is they did survive and contributors are none the wiser I suppose.:p

Those whom lived in jungles have their survial techniques not known to the average city deweller, to ward off harmful elements. Like, animals will avoid certain type of wood etc.

I believe these people overcome by live and let live, it is hard to believe there's anything in a human body that can ward off mozzies that thrive on blood.:*:

 

[Unrepented]

What I meant was, jungle dwellers know how to make use of the resources available in their natural habitat for remedies and avoid harmful elements.

Like those cambodian women who make use of certain grounded tree bark for cosmetic and skin cooling treatment.

Alcohol doesnt repel mozzies, you are probably too drunk to notice them around.:p

Alcohol by itself doesn't really repel mozzies. The mozzies are interested in blood. But alcohol in your blood helps repel mozzies. The empirical evidence is all out there for centuries. The guys and uncles all out there in hawker centres, coffeeshops, beer gardens, drinking happily away. Who got mozzie bites? It's always the wifeys, GFs and children who hang around *at the same place* but don't drink that got the mozzie bites.

Yeah, survival instincts I do agree. I thought where you are coming from was about these people having something in their body that city dwellers do not have.

I know alcohol kills bacterias or even viruses outside the body but I dont really know if it does any good in the blood that helps repels mozzies. By experience I can be half drunk and yet a target of these parasites. The fact is when you are intoxicated you're numbed and dont realize or even bothered unless these mozzies comes in great numbers.

Only 1 way to find out. Do an experiment. Get a guy and he drinks the stays out in a mozzie infested area and then get the same guy say the next day and he doesn't drink and see if he gets bitten the same, more or less. I hope ramseth volunteers for this.

You're outdated for this and I'm too late for this. Equalisation volunteered more than 50 years ago and there wasn't single mozzie bit mark on him.

put crushed lemon grass in a pot and boil the water
