This is very weird, but I found this out all by myself.  Whenever there is a power outage, I practiced to use candles until the power returns.  While doing this I noticed that by using the candles, the mosquitoes were few.  I found this very strange and did some research, only to discover that the burning of candles do help to keep the mosquitoes away.  Perhaps we could term this method as also very natural.
