I think it's the weather that's encouraging their population + the heat. I don't think there's anything else you can use if Bayton does not work.

Clean your surroundings and drain it of filthy puddles. Mosquitoes thrives in unkepmt tropical environments.

If you are too poor to afford a descent place in so-called cities in Nigeria,go to the village that could relatively cleaner and less polluted environment,even for the abjectly poor.

Natural, Burning cow dung. The smoke chases mosquitoes. Also treat surrounding waters, if its small pools. Thats where they hatch. If you are dealing with a lake or river, sleep under mosquito nets. And keep windows and doors shut when it starts getting dark because they like hiding in dark places.

I don't know if insect repellants work. But they are applied on the body.
