Mosquitoes have different and complex methods of detecting hosts and different types of mosquitoes react to different stimuli. Most mosquitoes are active at dawn and dusk, but there are also mosquitoes that seek hosts during the day.
You can avoid being bitten by making sure you aren't attracting mosquitoes, using attractants to lure mosquitoes elsewhere, using a mosquito repellent, and avoiding actions that diminish the effectiveness of the repellent.
- Mosquito attractants - attracting the mosquito away from you
- Natural Mosquito repellents
- Things that lower repellent effectiveness
