Get Rid Of Mosquitoes InDoors?

Question

ive checked screens and windows everyone looks good i think they be getting in through my window ac vent but theres nothing i can do about that...what can i use safely in my room to keep them away i dont want just a body repellent want something to spray in the room or to put in the room..nothing toxic

Answer 1

I usually spray Raid on my screens and AC vents before I'm going to be gone for the day.  Then leave the windows open so it is aired out before I get home.  I can't really think of any non-toxic options.  You could try the Citronella candles or spray if you want something more natural, but I don't think those work as well.

Answer 2

put a dish of dish detergent diluted in water near the window ac vent or use the plant below

Citronella grass - citronella oil. This oil is put in candles and lanterns that can be burned to repel mosquitoes.

Catnip is an herb that is most commonly used to stuff in toys or feed to cats for their enjoyment. However, the oil from this plant has actually been found to be more than ten times better at repelling mosquitoes than DEET. Planting this plant near your patio or deck will help repel mosquitoes.

Rosemary

This garden herb also has an oil that repels mosquitoes. While they are attractive plants that both repel mosquitoes and can add interest to your cooking, they are truly tropical plants that are not hardy in cold climates. You can, however, grow rosemary in a pot and take it inside in the winter.

Marigolds have a particular smell that many insects and humans find objectionable. They are a good plant for repelling mosquitoes as well as insects that can attack vegetable plants and aphids. Marigolds are annuals with bright flowers that range from lemon yellow to dark oranges and reds.

Mosquito Plants

There are actually plants on the market that are simply called Mosquito plants. They are advertised as a plant that repels mosquitoes. There are different schools of thoughts on these plants. Some say they do nothing to repel mosquitoes, while other swear by them. More often than not, you can only find them through mail order and internet sales.

While all these plants repel mosquitoes in your yard, you can also make all-natural mosquito repellent from them. Simply crush the leaves or flowers to release the oils and put them in a quantity of alcohol or vodka. Once the mosquito repellent oils have infused the liquid, you can use it just as you would one of the more harmful chemical repellents.

Planting these plants that repel mosquitoes is a great choice for your yard. Not only is it an earth-friendly way of dealing with these pests, it will add beauty to your gardens, and will not jeopardize your health. These five plants that repel mosquitoes are great choices.
