this is perhaps simplest way to get rid of mosquitoes .
Item required:
1. camphor. 50 grams .(as shown in photo)
It should last for a month or more.

take any small bowl , put one camphor tablet in it. fill it with water . 
normal water will do.
put an any corner of your room.
you can see immediate effect .if there were any mosquitoes they will go away.

to make more effective,crush camphor slightly.
if room is big, use two bowls with same process.
you can change water after 2 days. use old water it to wipe floor .

I hope this project reaches poor people in asia and africa.

If you don't get in small sizes, try breaking it in capsule size to avoid wastage .

I have camphor trees, but they don't seem to do much outside, still have mosquito. Would leaves or branch work indoors, instead of pills?

Looks good! I've always stuck with citronella, but this is a nice alternative.

In the tropical jungle, we frequently find ourselves in camping group. Since this kind of smorgasbord is exactly what mozzies look for, the best thing you can hope for is to make yourself a less attractive target.

1. INgest lots of garlic. Raw. 5 cloves a day a week before is potent.
2. Take frequent showers.
3. Stay off any scents. This includes shower gels cologne after shave and the like.
4. Wear light coloured clothing.
5. Have a little citronella on you, or a ciggie.
6. Sit beside a person who does not observe hints 1,2,3,4 and 5.

It never fails.

zazenergy : Citronella works better than camphor. I use both. Bear in mind, camphor and kids can not mix. And it burns quite nicely.........

I do not believe that I would use this camphor in an enclosed places. I'm checking but I believe that this could be allergenic to some people,Especially if the have lung problems..

I am checking the toxicity of this vapor :
It can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine. It is used for its scent, as an ingredient in cooking (mainly in India), as an embalming fluid, for medicinal purposes, and in religious ceremonies. A major source of camphor in Asia is camphor basil.
