How to combat mosquitoes

Just learned this at a Bangalore children's playgroup this morning.
One mother, who is in her 3rd year living in Bangalore, described her regimen:
At 4:00pm she turns on the "All Out" electric mosquito repellent in her outlets (1 per room)
She also closes her doors to the outside and windows (except those with mosquito netting)
1/2 hour before anyone goes to bed she sprays their room with "Baygon" water based flying insect killer
She especially sprays under the beds, behind the beds, curtains and where there is a lot of fabric or hiding places
In the morning she turns off the "All Out"

I did it tonight. Hopefully August won't have any new bites in the morning. :-(
