5 Natural Ways to Repel Mosquitoes

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Want to ger rid of mosquitoes? I just posted a new video on using this simple and common spray to get rid of all mosquitoes using a trap kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaa6gKt7ZpKUnZo

[@michelleelle4622]

🛑 EDIT UPDATE 🛑 I just ran around my house looking for any oils I could find 🤣 I used lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary and my carrier oil is jojoba. I also added a bunch of peppermint lotion to it 🤣 I dipped a cotton ball in and just put it all over myself. I didn’t feel like dealing with cooking the garlic so I put a tiny bowl with a couple spoonfuls of minced garlic. I have the minced garlic in between me and the fan 🤣 I have always had issues with misquotes getting me. I can be in a group of 500 people and be the only one getting bit. So annoying. Hopefully my concoction works! I’ll find out shortly. 🛑 UPDATE: I sat outside for about an hour and a half and not a single bite!

[@calving2314]

Nice job, I like how you actually did everything you were talking about, instead of talking through it and not actually showing how to do it.

[@stefaniward355]

My husband and I were complaining tonight that it's officially that time of year when the mosquitos are so bad that the bug spray stops working. Definitely going to give these methods a try! And I have to say, that red door on your patio is absolutely amazing!

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

Thanks for all your tips. I use peppermint essential oil with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and spay myself before going out into the garden and I carry my bottle with me and spay as I go. It works great!

[@saraprm7683]

Hoe you made ?

[@LilyBean82]

One quick way to repel mosquitoes is to use incense sticks. I poke a bunch into the ground, probably about 8 sticks at a time, where no one can walk and step on them, and light them all at the same time. When those burn out, I put down more, just for as long as I'm outside with company or working in the garden. It's sort of like the smoker idea but you get to enjoy the lovely aroma of incense, and you can move them around with you.

[@gowsif_dnb]

Pro tip: pour the water into the mortar, then dump into the pan. You'll get more of the garlic juice.

[@mfb6310]

SHORT version: DISH SOAP. Add all the witch hazel and oils you want (cedarbark, lemon lime lavender whatever) - ADD DISH SOAP and water too SHAKE IT UP and they DROP! And your room smells good.

[@peggycole7162]

Avon skin so soft bath oil. The way I do it is, in the shower, have washcloth sopping wet, pour a cap of SSS squeeze cloth so water isn't running. Wipe from neck down arms, then do legs. Dry off as usual. It's a really good protection, lasts a long time

[@lolob.172]

Wow! a lot of people must be using those smokers. Look at the smog in the background amongst the trees.

Don't hate me because they don't bite me. Its crazy that 1 will land & then fly away. I take B vitamins & have heard that's one reason.😀great ideas Jaq.

[@TK-rt6il]

I believe it!!! I used to be the most-attractive human to mosquitoes (for sucking my blood, of course). After taking vitamin B-complex for at least 6 months, i was free from mosquitoes and whatever bugs that stings you. Like you said, they may come around but did not attack me. Now that i’ve been off from supplements, i’m getting attacked by them again. I need to go back to Vitamin B-complex again. While waiting for it to kick in, i will be using one of Jag’s methods. Thanks, Jag!

I added all of these essential oils to the lotion I made: lemongrass, eucalyptus, neem, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary. I don't get bit, even after sweating. And mosquitoes think I'm a snack lol.

[@jbigfeather]

Mosquitos have been the bane of my existence this summer especially while tending the garden. I tried to go organic but the recommendations I used said “Come & get me” instead of “Stay away. Lavender oil was the worst. I only am outside long enough to water and take care of the veggies. I’ll try your suggestions.

[@GinaSiska]

That garlic spray definitely works to keep those bloodsuckers away, including vampires, lol 😂. Thanks Jag!

[@oldrrocr]

just adding my 2 cents: I add 40% windex with my spray mixture - at this point also using a little citronella - plus a few drops of dish soap. I actually spray the mosquitos with the stream, knock them down and smash them (for fun); but I think being covered with the soapy water will keep them from successfully breeding. Also, I keep a big wading pool size tub with a few inches of slightly soapy water where the mosquitos hang out. they drown in it... hundreds of them.

[@KatheWithAnEBurke]

Looks like you’ve got the wildfire smoke haze too. We’re in Colorado surrounded by wildfires and smoke. Take care Jag!

[@leapingliu8349]

Great recommendations. I really like using garlic idea

[@mssixty3426]

😄 loved the mosquito story 😄 thanks for all the ideas!

[@sashsmith4425]

Hi there 😊 have you ever tried citronella products? You could use the large outdoor candles around your garden and it usually repels most pests meaning mosquitoes and flies etc. I hope this advice is ok and by no means I'm no expert on bugs it's just something my family have used over where I'm from in the summer months and it's worked. It's like they hate the scent of citronella and like you said as well eucalyptus. Hope you get rid of them because they are so annoying and the bites can be nasty too. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you jag 💖

[@mountaincreekhomestead]

No citronella doesn't work I have 3 big candles and two plants, plus lavender and marigolds and I still got 37 bites. Lemongrass is way more powerful

[@sashsmith4425]

@@mountaincreekhomestead I did say I wasn't an expert lol but if lemongrass is your go-to then that's great that it works for you but different things may work for others is all,no tea no shade here just trying to be nice 🤗

[@Karen-up8xo]

If you have curious, rambunctious cats or dogs that could get near candles, they could knock these candles over and/or get burned or set something else on fire. These cautions are on these products.

[@fancyIOP]

I’ll try the garlic one even though the home will smell but it’s better than being bitten every night.

This might sound like a stupid question, but if we shouldn't inhale the oil aren't we still inhaling it even if it's mixed with a lotion?

[@COWBOYBARNMAN]

Let me suggest something. I had some work I had to do without postponement in my yard outside. Mosquitoes were swarming all over my arms in the backs of my hands. I went in the house and took a quick look around the only thing I had that I could even try was a bottle of Febreze. So I sprayed my arms inside and outside top and bottom I mean and the backs of my hands until they were dripping wet with the Febreze. I went outside and was out there for about 2 hours I did not get bit even once on my hands or arms. The only thing I remember the bottle saying on the back as a warning was Don't Spray it in your face and don't get it in your eyes. I really believe this stuff repel the mosquitoes.

[@beblissnow5947]

What scent ? Chemicals ?

[@COWBOYBARNMAN]

@@beblissnow5947 well as far as ingredients it just says contains water, alcohol, odor eliminator derived from corn fragrance. And as far as fragrance I'm not sure the only thing it says on the front of the bottle is spring and renewal. The only warning I see on the back says Don't Spray it in your face or get it in your eyes. I hope that helps.

[@huyked]

That reminds me. I heard that Bounce dryer sheets repel mosquitos. Stick a sheet in your belt, belt loop, or pocket. I hear it has to be that particular brand, but I'm not sure, and also not sure if they stopped using the chemicals that used to work. I hear golfers do this, too.

[@criscross6591]

Cigar smoking works for me! 😂

[@eldooD75]

Hi Jag, I have been used eucalyptus for my difficult breathing and also used for my back or body aches. So what is your opinion?

[@naomiroyle9637]

I save rainwater in garbage cans for my garden but I always put 3-5 feeder goldfish in them. Some of my fish are 4-5 years old. It doesn't freeze terribly hard in winter so they just go into stasis. This catches the mosquitoes, and keeps them busy in the water there. My fish are like little piranhas.

I was just looking at your test with the borax and soap and ? I cannot find it but found you here. The borax that you used is not the same as Borax - 2 different compounds. There is a mosquito catcher called Spartan that uses sugar and boric acid. I will do the same as you did in the other video but using boric acid not Boarx.
