How do you keep them away? I have a citronella candle and i have heard marigolds help. I looked for lemon grass but i cannot find it anywhere.

    I'm sitting on the "mosquitoes are attracted to me" couch.  I also get insane welts when they bite.  I just try to use bug spray, and stay near citronella candles if I can.  We've also had citronella plants in the past, and those work as well as the candles, except without the hot wax and open flame.
    I get huge whelps when they bite me. Like swollen areas that don't even look like mosquito bites. This is not my leg but basically what it looks like after a bite.

    We have a huge mosquito problem here. My poor husband is like some of you guys and gets eaten up by mosquitoes. He wears those Off clip on things, and they seem to help a lot. I'm not sure why, but mosquitoes rarely come near me, so I don't use any repellent myself. I've always wondered why mosquitoes prefer some people over others. It's weird...not that I'm complaining!

    I cannot get rid of them.... We have them bad. I have a citronella candle and tiki torches in our back yard, but bug spray is our best friend.

    We use little mosquito patches on DD but the mosquitos here are terrible & carry dengue so that's annoying! GL hope you find something that actually helps :/

    All 3 of us in my family have the same blood type, so far I'm the only magnet [A-]

    Following. We have essentially a swampy forest behind our house & have tons of bugs. :(

    This. We can't take one step outside without getting bitten. It's awful.
