Mosquito Magnet
 
Anyone ever heard of this? Is this the Holy Grail of mosquito control?

That looks amazing... but $700?! I think I'd rather just spray some bug repellent on myself for $3 (or however much bug spray is).

Eat a drop of tea tree oil, the oil will make your blood very bitter and your skin will give off a scent that is unpleasant to mosquitos. Or you can eat some raw onions, those are good.

It's an oil made from the melaleuca plant and is quite common here in the U.S. since it's either made here or imported from the south pacific.

Here's some info at Wikipedia:

As for where you can get it in England I'm not sure (here we have it mostly in health-food stores), but if you can't seem to find it just eat a mouthful of raw onion and it'll do just as good (nice and spicy too).
