Making your own mosquito repellent can be done by either mixing eucalyptus oil with water or lemon balm with water, putting the mixture into a spritz bottle and applying it to the skin when outdoors. Create an organic mosquito repellent with information from a Florida state-certified pest control operator in this free video on insect repellents.

  • I apprecite if your write the name of the ingridients. I couldn't understand them. Thank you.

  • @aaaarrrgggghh

    and i know you didn't ment to be referring human behavior i just like the idea that you have outcome the way of thinking of a "normal" human being

    if you want to find out what i'm talking about or you just didn't understand what i'm talking about ask me or just type "jacque fresco human behavior"

    : )

    have a good life

  • @aaaarrrgggghh

    wow i actually admire you'r Solution

    but what i like about you'r Solution is that most people usually think that way so they don't see the whole picture to find there Solution and they often ask themself"how do i get those mosquito not to get attracted to me?" insted of asking themself "how do i get mosquito out of my area that i'm living so they won't bite me"

    i'm actually talking about human "behavior" and why we usually think this way that's not right from the first place

  • @eeristavi that's because you have NESTS of them and they are near to where you leave. THey won't come near to where I live for the reasons I listed.. even if I was in Corfu or wherever.

  • All around my home it used to be infested by tiger mosquitoes, I have planted plants that repel mosquitoes (melissa, lemon grass, Lippia citriodora) and have tons of lemon basil on my windows and now they just go and nest somewhere else. I don't need to spray anything as I have no mosquitoes.

  • EUCALYPTUS- was planted in malaria areas of africa to disinfect the air- but what happened is that eucayptus trees suck up lots of water as they grow- so they got rid of the swamps- so no water for mosquito eggs to hatch- no more mosquitos-MAL-ARIA= BAD-AIR- its also the swamp decomposing plants that make sulphur GAS & its this gas that poisons the population-very toxic- but dont tell that to the malaria PILL PUSHERS-u ll get "heart attacked" as a "profit killers"-no alcohol/sweets/grapes=fevers

  • Have tried Skin So Soft in the past, but it smells like really strong, really cheap perfume. Not crazy about it.

  • That was super helpful..we have tried absolutely every mosquito repelent and it didn't work with tha misquitos in east Idaho..thanks:)

  • @xxxxblazeitxxxx

    I don't agree. It's proven that from your sweat, mosquitoes are more attracted. Here in Corfu we have loads of them. I work as a fitness instructor in an outdoor green area, and believe me, if I don't have a good repellent, i get average 15 bites in 30 minutes.

  • believe it or not the best repellent is your own odor.
