What essential oils repels mosquitos??
Answers: Goldenseal, pennyroyal oil and tea tree oil are natural insect repellants and are beneficial when applied to affected areas.
Citronella candles are good for repelling mosquitoes.
Calendula ointment is an excellent insect repellent and counterirritant. You can also try cedar or eucalyptus. These are available in oil, spray and lotion form.
Catnip repels mosquitoes by an irritant reaction
How to make: in a hand-held spray bottle, mix 1/4-1/2 tsp. of essential oil of catnip (Nepata cataria), 1 cup of isopropyl alcohol, and 1 cup of water.
How to use: Shake well and then spray lightly on clothing, arms, and legs, being careful to avoid eyes or open cuts. Do not use on the skin of small children. Some persons may be sensitive to catnip oil. Keep the contents of the spray away from children and pets.
Citronel oil.. its the same as they put in the candles.
I made a strawberry jar of herbs/plants that repel mosquitoes. It is filled with lemon geranium, lavender and cat mint (not catnip, but cats like it too). These plants have properties that repel mosquitoes and gnats. They look so pretty too!
I'm sure you already have worked with Citronella -- whether that works well or not for you is something you no doubt know by now. Also, no standing water!
Good luck keeping skeeters away!
