Mosquitoes are attracted to a lot of things, including carbon dioxide, heat, and the scent of certain blood types. So one of the most effective ways to control mosquitoes is to try to reduce their attractiveness by avoiding those things. For example, you can avoid going outside during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, you can wear long sleeves and pants if you're going to be outside in an area where there are a lot of mosquitoes, and you can use bug spray that contains DEET or Picaridin.
The most effective mosquito control is to get rid of their breeding grounds. That means getting rid of any standing water around your home where mosquitoes can lay eggs. You can also use a insect repellent to keep mosquitoes away, but the most important thing is to cover up as much as possible and avoid being bitten. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, so try to stay inside during those times if you can.
