You or any of us can't see and decide if which mosquitoes to avoid.
Do basic things
Don't keep stored water lying open inside the house or near the windows.
Close down ur windows before or around 6 pm just before sunset to avoid entry of mosquitoes in the house.
If too many mosquitoes in and around ur house get pest control done.
Use mosquito repellant coils in the house but out of reach of children bcz they should not consume it unknowingly
And keep basic hygiene hand washing and otherwise.
You r good to go.
