The notion that eating garlic can protect against mosquito bites has been around for quite a while despite a lack of evidence that it does any good. Researchers at the University of Connecticut published a study in 2005 showing that volunteers who consumed a lot of garlic (in pills) and then were exposed to mosquitoes were bitten just as often as they were on days when they consumed a placebo instead of garlic. I don’t know of any food you can eat to repel these insects.
On the other hand, if you can convince mosquitoes to consume garlic, you could kill them off. Smearing garlic on your arms won’t do the trick. You need some other bait to attract the mosquitoes. At least one available product contains date juice and sugars combined with garlic oil and is said to kill four types of mosquitoes when sprayed on greenery in the garden or painted wood. The mosquitoes take the bait – the sugars – and consume the garlic oil in the process.
