“Only a couple hundred bite people. It would require 1.12 million mosquito bites to completely drain your blood. Only female mosquitoes bite. They need blood to lay viable eggs. Male mosquitoes live on flower nectar. Citronella, catnip, rosemary, lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, and marigold all have a reputation for repelling mosquitoes. They don’t exactly keep the bugs away, but they mask the smell of carbon dioxide, rendering humans invisible to the pests. Mosquitoes find us by smelling our exhaled... breath, so if you can confuse them with scents, you’re less likely to get bitten. The best way to avoid mosquitoes is by draining any standing water, no matter how small, every week. That includes birdbaths, kid’s pools, tree holes, rainwater drains, and even little-used drains in and around your house. Mosquito larvae need to live 7 to 14 days in water. Mosquitoes normally travel no more than half a mile from their point of origin.MoreLessRead More Read Less
