Lemon Grass (aka Serai) is a plant that can help repel mosquitoes. Lately there have been many cases of denggi due to rainy weather. The easy way to get rid of mosquito is to plant lemon grass. It is very simple to plant, all you have to do is take a bottom part, trim the top. The bottom part will have the root and you can just stick it to the ground. Next you have to keep trimming it as the grass grows to make it need and tidy.
You can also burn sandal wood oil at home. I know not many like sandal wood smell. It smells like mosquito repellent and most mosquito repellent use the sandal wood oil anyway.
Last method is to bath with Dettol soap. It helps to keep the mosquito away too. Make sure you get rid of anything that breeds mosquitoes.
My friend told us burning of egg cartons would keep the mosquitoes away. Weird eh?
