Mosquitoes are one of the most annoying pests faced by those who live in tropical locations.
While there are many kinds of mosquito repellent sprays available in the market, it is the natural mosquito control methods that are best for our health as these sprays will not damage our lungs or our skin in anyway.
You can quickly and easily make your own homemade mosquito repellent, at low cost and exclusively with ingredients you feel comfortable using.
To make mosquito repellent sprays, all you will need is spray bottles, essential oils, and carrier oils or base oils.
When it comes to repelling malarial mosquitoes, thyme oil is one of the best at providing protection. For a spray, mix 5 drops of thyme oil with 2 ounces of water.
Neem oil is believed to have natural mosquito repelling properties due to its composition and strong aroma.
Apple cider vinegar is an effective and mess-free base that can be used to increase the repellent potential of certain essential oils. It promotes the repellent activity of essential oils by creating a slightly acidic pH on the surface of your skin, which can lure mosquitoes away from you.
Peppermint oil is another essential oil that works well in repelling mosquitoes. Combining it with coconut oil enhances its mosquito repellent potential and basically makes it your very own natural bug repellent.
