How to Repel Mosquitos Naturally

You can easily learn how to repel mosquitos naturally. Mosquitos are attracted to certain scents. You can either cover the scent or create an undesirable scent to keep them away.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. TAKE VITAMIN B1 - If you take a 100mg vitamin B1 everyday throughout the mosquito season, the mosquitos will not bite you. There is an undetectable scent that the B1 sends through your pores. The mosquitos do not like it and they will not bite you. Take vitamin B1 every day April through October.

2. GARLIC - You can take a garlic supplement, eat foods with garlic, eat garlic or crack it and rub it on your body. Garlic turns mosquitos away.

3. TEA TREE OIL - Mix one part water with two parts tea tree oil and put it in a spray bottle. Spray on all areas of skin that are exposed. For your face, spray it on your hand first and then apply it to your face.

4. PLANT MARIGOLDS - Plant a lot of marigolds around your yard. Mosquitos hate the smell of marigolds.

5. CITRONELLA - You can rub citronella oil on your body or burn citronella candles to keep mosquitos away.
