Here is an article on " Why do mosquitoes bite some people more than others?" People with the Blood Type " O " are more under attack from these vicious creatures and the scientists are trying to figure out why.

@Emma. Yes, indeed..! I have seen some ultrasound devices used to keep mosquitoes out. But they will adapt to those devices also..!

Sumukha,that is indeed an interesting fact. I also heard that there are electronic " Buzzer " like devices? There is an art in installing the mosquito net! and folding it can be so tricky!

Thanks Emma..:-) We use Mosquito net while sleeping and also some "All-out" and "Goodnight" Liquid Mosquito destroyers to keep them away..! But the interesting thing is, if we keep using that liquid from a single company for more than one month, they'l get adapted to it and they wont get unconscious if we use that liquid. So, we use liquids from different companies each month to keep them away..!!!
