Sleep under an insecticide treated mosquito net.
Use a mosquito repellant lotion before you sleep (The one I bought ended up attracting more mosquitoes though).
Get rid of wet dirt in your room and make sure you tap your door severally before opening, especially in the evenings and early mornings.

One time like that. I could not sleep due to the nuisances caused by mosquitoes in my room.

I had to face them head on by killing all of them with my hands, like crushing them literally. So i was able kill more than 20 mosquitoes in one night with my palm.


That night i slept so comfortably.

Go and get 'toprank' from any provision store, lock the doors and windows and spray it in the rooms before going to bed. Stay outside for a while after spraying. You can now open the window later

Buy any electric Mosquito Zapper and sleep like a baby. I am using one in my house and it's cost only 12k for the small sized one. Instead of buying Insecticide that might even give you blocked nose. Thank me later

You can marry change the nets to a tinny net because mosquitoes can still penetrate through the regular net

You add bed net to your bed for sleeping

You stop going out or opening your net especially from 7am because they perch on the door, once you open the net they go in immediately

simply empty the room..I mean keep the room clean and airy..no towels or clothes hanging or on bed/chair...everything in a locked cupboard...no single nylon or heap of nonsensical things around your room...once done, spray sniper once a week ..u will sleep well and the room will be airy kiss

This is your breakthrough.

Just avoid inhaling the sniper

With mosquito net, you can open your windows all day long, just drop your net whenever you want to sleep, you will just be watching them flying outside the net.

Op, I use Rambo insecticide to spray the house.
One can can comfortably spray a 3 bedroom duplex.
Ofcourse I have Mosquito nets. The problem is that nets and flet is not effecting against sandflies. Flet might kill them, but I have actually seen those suckers fly through the pores of mosquito nets!
Here comes in the mosquitoes bats. I have this every room permanently on. I also have the bulbs. The bulbs show normal light, but at night you can switch them to the Mosquito killing function.
There is nothing satisfying as when you hear the crack at night if a mosquito of sandfly being roasted. (In my mind I say, I gat you sucker!)
Let me snap a pic of the bat for you too see. This one is by my bed side table.

What do you expect when you rent
cheap accommodation that has openings
in the ceiling, windows and under the
doors & not net covering❓

Mosquitoes can't pass through the walls.

The only solution for such cheap
accommodation is mosquito coils which
burn through the night and keeps mosquito
on the run so that they don't even think
of settling down to feed on your poor
man's blood .. 😁😁😁

Another option is to simply get
mosquito net. You go dey hear dem music
but they can't get at you.

Sleep 💤💤🛌well and thank me later.

Get sniper mix with kerosin and use and use it around yr environment

Mix it with water, you get better results. All those chemicals are meant to be mixed with water. You'll see Sniper written 1000EC, it means emulsifiable concentrate. You mix it with one part of sniper to a thousand part of water. But Naija insects and mosquitoes don't have respect for many chemicals so we use sniper as a 200-300EC😥😥😥.

Put 3-5 caps of snipper into a 75cl eva water bottle, and fill up with water. Shake well, and then perforate the cap of the mixture.... Use this as an improvised sprayer. Spray your room in the morning when going to work; by the timpe you return, all those morafockers should have died. Do it 2-3 times in a week, and you might not experience mosque-men bite you again.

Well, I won't totally write off your experience but I used mine at my former place for more than 2 years. No single tear all through, it all depends on the handling of it. Most people assume because it's not as thick as the traditional nets that it won't last but from my own experience, they aren't correct.

The issue isn't the net. Mine started from the zips. Then the rods before the nets wore down. It's painful particularly since they are so expensive

Always close your dors and windows before 5pm daily....then peel some garlic boobs and put around you while you sleep.

Check your environment, are there grasses around, close to your apartment? Do u have some rubbish packed at some spot close to your apartment? Like empty cans or bottles, buckets etc?

It's not about your room, it's your environment. You can as well fumigate your surroundings with a strong pesticide and you will be free for a while..

I remember when we were in NYSC camp, with all the grasses and some stagnant water around, i never experienced any mosquito bites. I was wondering why, until one day the camp director was angry at corpers damaging the was because they were trying to hit nails to hang mosquito nets, in her words "we have fumigated this place, u don't even need mosquito nets, I can tell u that for the next one month no single mosquito will survive in the whole of this camp"

Ogun camp?

One of the ways to get rid of mosquitoes is nautical birds. This is one of the reasons it's a crime to kill birds abroad apart from the fact that some are deployed for security purpose. This birds feeds on mosquitoes and others insects. It would be very helpful if you get some birds for this purpose. Train them to limit their movement within your house.
