The local Application mustard oil or massage with this oil naturally repel the mosquitos.  

Mosquito traps and nets–  . The insecticide will kill mosquitoes and other insects, and it will repel insects from entering the room. So, the Nets treated with insecticide are more effective, otherwise the mosquito can bite through the net if the person is standing next to it

Door and window screens- Structural barriers, such as screens or netting, can keep mosquitos out.

• Do not place receptacles under an air-conditioning unit
• Change the water in flower vases on alternate days and the inside of the vase should be scrubbed and rinsed.
• Prevent leaves from blocking anything that may result in the accumulation of puddles or stagnant water
