Those mosquito nets that hang from a point on the ceiling over and around the bed are the most mosquito proof method I know of

Just don't hang them inside out.

It is claimed by some people that eating Marmite™ deters mozzyies from biting them. Also some say Coal tar soap is a deterent. I doubt either have been tested scientifically.

that would correlate to the information that I was given that taking vitamin B will help keep mossies away. (Is marmite sort of like vegemite packed with vitamin b?)

Mosquito problem - how can I stop them buzzing around my head at night?

I give you a tip. Wear ear plugs. []

Spot on there mate! I've been "plugged up" for the last 3 nights.

I've also heard about high-frequency noise boxes (for want of a better term) that deters them. Perhaps it is a similar sound to that made by another female's wings, and so she stays away (since it's only the females that suck)

I'm not sure that there's any evidence that marmite works, sadly nor does garlic (there goes one of my excuses for eating far too much garlic!)

A little while ago, we had a show all about mosquitoes - it makes for very interesting reading/listening:

Ok, so I had a revelation under the night.
A voice shrouded in light told me to tell you to wear wings and wait.
When the mosquitoes come you were to make a grab for the nearest one.
Then you in a warm friendly but stern voice should inform it to.
'Take me to your mothership'

As you now had wings you would have no problem following the swarm.
And well there you could easily negotiate a surrender.
After all, they are attacking you,right?

Ps: to keep your wings light and comfortable, use papier-mache.
Beware of damp though.

Having travelled in Thailand,Indonesia and South America - the one thing I do know about mossies is that they will get to you, one way or another!

You have been to Indonesia? In what events? Yes, there are mosquitoes everywhere here, all the main 3 species!
