Mosquitoes. They seem to prefer certain people. Deet is a commonly used bite preventer
I am not a doctor but vitamin B1 seems to work. B vitamins are water soluble so overdoes is unlikely. It takes a fairly large dose of B1 for it to work.

Those black lights were the rage a few years ago. They kill mostly moths that are attracted to the light. They do not work for mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes breed in fresh water, traditional control are fish.
