I hate mosquito

My aunt spent few thousands to get her house fully covered with mosquito net. I was planning to get one but it seems quite crazy to spend few thousands to prevent mosquito huh ? (But, I got a Reuters sms saying Vietnam, Malaysia raise concerns as dengue fever cases rise in Sountheast Asia.) So scary! I know I'm quite paranoid about mosquito, but something must be done to ease my worries.
Since I do not intend to spend money on the net, so I'll try to get other sources to help solve this problem. There is this home remedy to reduce mosquito bite irritation. What we need to do is to rub the bite with a piece of green papaya. Why papaya? Cos it seeds and meats are made of papain. Wonder what is papain ? Here it is...

The papain breaks down the irritating proteins that injected by the mosquito. But, please do not use this home remedy if you have allergy reactions to insects venom. So for time being, I'll have to try this out besides using Zambak ,Mopiko and Mosq Bite. Argh!!!!!!!
