Most of the mosquito repellents or pesticides are poisonous. Slowly mosquitoes are getting immune to these chemicals or hazardous materials. In future, instead of killing or repelling mosquitoes, they harm human beings. So, better we explore natural or herbal products or methods to get rid of them. Please forward your thoughts from your experience or observations.

Citronella oil,neem oil,even crushed small onions work great in repelling mosquito........before u think of repelling the mosquitoes you should think about how you can check their breeding and growth of these mosquitoes......keep your land clean ....see that there is no stagnant water or open drainage etc which are the breeding ground for the mosquitoes.

Garlic, a common staple found in countless kitchens and recipes worldwide, long has been considered a special food - not just for the unique flavor it imparts, but also for its medicinal value. Botanically known as Allium sativum, garlic is a bulb crop found in the family of onions, chives and shallots. It is thought to have originated in Central Asia, and its use as a condiment and for medicinal purposes predates written history. During World War II, British physicians treated battle wounds with garlic preparations when antibiotics were scarce.

Most of its therapeutic value, as well as its flavor and odor, can be attributed to sulfur compounds contained within the garlic clove. One such compound is the amino acid, alliin. Once a clove is cut or crushed, alliin is converted to allicin, the main contributor to garlic's widespread medicinal and antimicrobial benefits. Allicin is a very unstable compound; once in the gastrointestinal tract, it is rapidly converted to other compounds that can be used by the body.
