As such you should apply mosquito repellant body lotions or creams. Injections are not the correct answer to repulsion of mosquitos. There are coils so which remain ignited and smoked to repel mosquitos.

Moreover if you can find herbal mosquito repellants, it would be far better. Herbal coils can also be found.

Hope it helps you.
