No. There are a lot of wives tales about things like this. A female mosquito needs blood to help with her eggs. So every one that bites is a female. They are attracted to you by the heat. Not by smell. Smoke can help keep them away. Use the products put out on the market to repell these tiny blood suckers.

∙ 12y agoNo they can't. Sorry. There is some evidence that could. The real reason one person attracts more mosquitoes than the next has a lot to do with their body chemistry. The way they smell. Some people actually emit an odor that essentially masks them from the mosquito, which sends this insect flying right on by to a more desirable meal. Garlic is one of those ways to mask your scent. The problem is you would have to eat an awful lot of it, and it would only last about half an hour. It's not very practical.
No. Use a repel.
