How to avoid Mosquito Bites
Use insect repellents
Insect repellents do not kill mosquitoes but they should stop them landing on and biting your skin. They work against different types of insect bites.
Wear the right clothing
Clothing stops mosquitoes reaching your skin and biting. Mosquitoes cannot bite through loose-fitting clothing but can if clothing is tight against your skin. In hot climates, your clothing can be thin, provided it is loose.
Use a mosquito net
Check for any holes in the net before using it. If a hole is apparent, then this can be mended using for example a needle and thread.
Reduce the mosquitos
Try to make sure there is no puddles of water lying around outside your accommodation to reduce the opportunity for mosquitoes to breed.
