Does anyone know of any fail safe methods to get rid of mosquitoes in your flat, or if you can't prevent that- how you can prevent yourself getting bitten???

I've heard Vitamine B tablets help- is this true?

Please help I am a mosquitoe magnet!!!!!

Many thanks

haha oh man I had an incident last semester where i slept through getting about 10 bites on my face. Great the next day I got... teacher teacher face? and what's wrong with your face?? pimple?? nooo kiddies mosquito you know buzz buzz??

that was just swell. I got asked it by EVERYONE. very annoying
so then I started to sleep with mosquito repellent on my pillow ,face and everything else. I felt like i was camping.

there are also things you can plug into the wall to ward of mostquitos but i hear they don't work...

so in a way, i guess i have no advice for you
sorry! good luck

First and most important thing you need to do is plug up every little crack and hole they can come in through. This includes nets over air vents near burners, etc. They love those. You should also buy foam weather stripping for your door cracks.

Koreans sell those mosquito burner things that put out a chemical smell. THey say they keep mosquitos away, but I'm not so sure. They do give you weird dreams, though. Not sure how healthy they are. I'm a bit scared of them, myself.

Next thing you need is a can of mosquito spray, and keep it handy by the bed. I lock down my apartment so none can get in at night, then go on a mosquito hunt before sleeping. I try to kill them all, or the buggers WILL bite you in your sleep. You can also buy a mosquito net for over your bed.

A small electric zapper is effective not only for 모기비비규 but as a nightlight and perfect for those who like to be lulled to sleep by the sound of small electric pops.

The plug-in vaporizer things work for me.

my advice- go for the big veins on the neck, and try not to get killed.

The plug in things (sold in blue boxes everywhere) work really well for me. Just make sure to get them running at least 30 minutes before bed time.

Repel Lemon Eucalyptus works well for me. The CDC recommends it (against West Nile). I don't know if it's available in the Korea but since I can't use the coils or insecticide sprays (asthma), I'll be having some sent over from home.
