1. Tulsi
The fragrance of Tulsi or Basil leaves acts as a repellant for mosquitoes. It not just helps in keeping the mosquitoes away, but also works wonders in treating mosquito bites. Surround your house with tulsi and basil leaves or place a shrub next to your window and keep the mosquitoes away.

The ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes is stagnant water puddles. If you have stagnant water around your house or on the roof, spread some coffee grounds in it. Doing this, the mosquito eggs will automatically float on the ground and once deprived of oxygen they will not survive. Hence prevents more mosquitoes from coming around your house.
