    If you have not deadheaded it, this may help it to start blooming again. Deadheading is just removing all the old faded blossoms.

    Plants sometimes stop blooming because they are stressed. Check the plant for bugs and make sure it is getting enough water. Give it a little fertilizer as well.

    If you have deadheaded and there is nothing stressing the plant, you can try pruning it a bit. Removing 1/4 or so of the foliage may jump start it back up again if all else fails.

    Yes, scented geraniums release citronella oil when rubbed, which repels mosquitoes.

    Without any water at all, the likelihood of surviving is minimal at best. I suppose you could try. Is there no one available to care for them? Can you not take them with you? I wish I could offer more help but there is little you can really do but hope. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/geranium/how-to-save-geraniums-over-the-winter.htm

    It still may be that they were over watered. They need only minimal water when brought indoors. Make sure the soil is dry to the touch before watering. Pruning them back will help some.

    Indoors they can survive down to about 50 F, but at that temp, they would merely survive. They would not thrive.
