Research Notes on Natural Mosquito Repellents
The most common natural mosquito repellents are various essential oils. Clove oil and citronella are the most effective against mosquitoes, but be careful with clove oil and use it sparingly as it can be a skin irritant. Other fairly effective essential oils include lemon grass, eucalyptus, castor oil, peppermint, tea tree oil, lavender, and cedar.
