More on Mosquitoes

Finding a natural way of combating the biting mosquitoes is healthier for you than using toxins such as permethrin or DEET. The issue with these is that you will need to apply them more frequently. Oil of lemon eucalyptus provides about the same amount of protection as low concentrations of DEET. If you have a formulation of 40% or higher, the lemon eucalyptus will work against ticks.

Cutter Insect Repellent contains oil of lemon eucalyptus as it's main ingredient. Repel is another form of the effective ingredient.

Lastly, blow them away. Mosquitoes are less active in windy conditions, so you are less likely to be bitten if it is breezy. Try a fan, it does wonders if there is not a natural breeze present!
