Not sure if most folks know this, but DEET is the most effective mosquito repellent known to science. Spraying non-blooming foliage around one's home with an approved pyrethroid insecticide helps cut down numbers. There are lots of "home remedies", some of which can be effective too, but not as effective. Just be careful with homemade concoctions. Many are untested for side effects.
