Answer 5

mosquitoes are attracted by the CO2 given off by your skin, and since your body has to give off CO2 or it will explode (jk) the best way to deter them is use something with DEET  in it. Off or some similar product.

Answer 7

Mosquitoes locate bloodhosts by scent, sight and heat. From 100 feet away (30 meters) mosquitoes can smell your scent, especially the carbon dioxide (CO2) you exhale. Biting flies are even better; they can smell their prey from 300 feet (100 meters) away. Because CO2 is present in the atmosphere (plants take in CO2 and give off oxygen), mosquitoes respond to higher-than-normal concentrations, especially when the CO2 is mixed with host-odor. They follow your scent upwind, and can see you at a distance of about 30 feet (10 meters).

Only females bite though.  The chemicals they're attracted are things like: carbon dioxide (from our breath), lactic acid (from some foods we eat and working out), body heat, moisture (so no standing water!), movement, color (they like dark clothes the best, it imitates the dark foliage of the forest).
