Vanilla. They hate vanilla, the B&BW warm vanilla spray and lotion keeps them off better than any insect sprays I've used. Got the tip from one of theguys i work with a couple years ago and haven't had a problem with them since.

It is so bad that if I decide to work in the garden, I am wearing sweatpants and a hoodie + a skull cap.
I still spray myself with this that I also add in citronella oil with Coconut Oil.

Nah those Mosquitos are the ones that are on the Extreme Side.King of #NTEXTREMES strikes again
If I go out in a t-shirt and shorts, I would come back in the house with at least 12 bites per 30 mins

Hate those bastards.
Interesting fact:. Only the females are the ones that bite as they need the blood for their eggs.
I use this spray
6 hr protection.

Well DC is humid as hell, much of my region was built on swamp land.
Also, my house supposedly has a well deep down in the backyard.

I have to just chime in and share my story. I absolutely hate mosquitos with a passion. I typically get bitten while others around me don't.
My wife has a habit of leaving the back door open to allow our dog to to roam around the backyard. The other night as I was sitting on my laptop minding my own business, I start scratching both of my ankles as well as the knuckle of my toes. I just couldn't stop scratching as it started to become my priority and new found task that evening. I'm absolutely dumbfounded as to why I'm scratching non stop and it started transcending to both of my arms. It was around dusk and the sun had started to set. I tried to keep my mind off it as I'm doing work on my laptop. Then, I see two Aedes mosquitos on my left shoulder biting me through my F'n shirt! I quickly smack one out of the two. The other one flew off and disappeared into our house. The Aedes mosquitos here in Socal are very stealth and stay low to the ground. I'm now scratching uncontrollably after knowing what has happened and I now can't stop. So as i'm trying different remedies to stop the itching, my wife is really trying to have a real adult conversation with me. Really? You see the severity and anguish I am in. Long story short I took a few L's that night.
1. 11 Total Mosquito bites. The worse ones are two on the knuckle of my toes.
2. Wife was mad at me as I said a few unpleasantries to her while I was in my trance.
3. Wasted an additional hour hunting down the other Mosquito.
4. I couldn't sleep at night as I was uncomfortable. I ended up sleeping on the couch as well.
Conclusion, don't get married kids. She was the one who left the darn back door open with a "Vacant Sign" inviting those jack asses in.
End of Rant

It’s why I won’t move from the fog cold weather I live in. I’ll take a overcast gloomy cool weather anyday to not have to deal with hot / humid problems like mosquitos. I already can’t fall asleep easily and those are a guaranteed up all night situation. And it’s not like you can into work tired and have mosquitos be any sort of legitimate excuse.

Mosquitos ( well any ******* insect I am afraid of)
( I won’t say hate beCause I know there’s a reason for all species ( except for bedbugs and hornets and wasps, those are just plagues )
But I am afraid of them....
My favorite insect is the praying mantis though
Them dudes is mad nice
