The best way to avoid being bitten by a mosquito is to dress correctly during the summer. Long-sleeved shirts and trousers offer effective protection from mosquitoes. 

Sometimes, the summer temperatures can be too hot for thick clothing. When this happens, you can protect yourself from mosquitoes with various kinds of repellent sprays and ointments available in stores. 

Mosquitoes do not like smoke, which is why they do not like to spend time near campfires. Smoke-producing mosquito repellents are also effective for keeping mosquitoes away when spending time outdoors.
