  • Thanks jolanda vandid or what ever you said your name was. I think I rather have a few mosquito bits than red hot chilli powder with fu ckin oil and vinegar all over my body.

  • This an interesting video with practical tips on how to help prevent mosquito using easily accessible items from your garden or kitchen. I wish a mosquito free days while you enjoy the outdoors.

  • Soak lavender blossoms in gin for 2 weeks. Then use as a spray. Mosquitos hate the smell.

  • @littlebigkidz probably the same reason some poeple dont particulary like certain types of food because of the taste or the smell of them.

  • why don't mosquitoes like eucalyptus?

  • Cool, Handy advice for out in the bush or camping as well.

  • @edmon69 She wasn't recommending application of any pepper on your skin, dummy! Along with cinnamon, the peppers that she recommended were not intended for use on your body. It is intended for use throughout your yard as a general repellent, something to make them not even want to be in your yard!

  • @Supertomiman Mosquitoes don't like full sun so you don't need to use any oils during that period. They are most active at dusk and dawn.
