decongestant and vermifuge. Its aroma is stimulating and uplifting; it clears the head
and may aid in concentration.
Add pure Alcohol ( 1:1) to allow better mixing in water. Fill with OLEE H20™. (20 -30 pts. Go
with desired strength).
Put in tiny Orgone Master™ and store in large recyclable containers. Put in recycled spray
bottle when ready to use.
SHAKE WELL and use as needed. More variety of aromatics, the more insect species are
repelled.

Natural Mosquito Repellent Recipes
Natural Repellents
These natural products will effectively repel mosquitoes, but they require more frequent
reapplication (at least every 2 hours) and higher concentrations than DEET. Because of the
differences between types of mosquitoes, products that contain multiple repellents tend to be
more effective than those containing a single ingredient. As you can see, natural repellents tend
to be volatile plant oils.

Another plant-derived substance, pyrethrum, is an insecticide. Pyrethrum comes from the flowers
of the daisy Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium.
Thai lemon grass
(Cymbopogon citratus) is a natural and effective mosquito repellent. It
contains the natural oil, citronella, which is safe and effective; in fact, lemon
grass citronella is considered more effective than true citronella as an insect
repellent.
You can buy Thai lemon grass at garden centers and supermarkets, and it
grows readily into a clump about 15" across and about 2ft tall. To use as a
mosquito repellent, break a stalk off from the clump, peel off the outer leaves, until you find the
scallion-like stem at the base. Bend the stem between your fingers, loosening it, then rub it
vigorously between your palms - it will soon become a pulpy, juicy mass. Rub this over all
exposed skin, covering thoroughly at least once. You can also make a tincture using alcohol, for
spray applications.
Plantings around the patio will also help repel mosquitoes

 An effective natural bug repellent, mix one part garlic juice with 5 parts water in a small spray
bottle. Shake well before using. Spray lightly on exposed body parts for an effective repellent
lasting up to 5 - 6 hours. Strips of cotton cloth can also be dipped in this mixture and hung in
areas, such as patios, as a localized deterrent.
 Neem oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from the Neem tree in India. The leaves, seeds
and seed oil of the Neem tree contain sallanin, a compound which has effective mosquito
repelling properties.
 Planting marigolds around your yard works as a natural bug repellent because the flowers
give off a fragrance bugs and flying insects do not like.

Keep in mind that 'natural' does not automatically imply 'safe'. Many people are sensitive to plant
oils. Some natural insect repellents are actually toxic. Therefore, although natural repellents
provide an alternative to synthetic chemicals, please remember to follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using these products.

How to Make Natural Mosquito Repellent
A good mosquito repellent will keep you from needing to wear head-to-toe mosquito netting.
Natural Mosquito Repellent Safety
There are a couple of different formulations you can make for your natural mosquito repellent. In
general, what you are doing is diluting an essential oil that the mosquitoes find distasteful or
which confuses them so they can't find you to bite you. The oils don't mix with water, so you'll
need to add them to other oils or to alcohol. It's important to use an oil or alcohol that is safe for
your skin. Also, don't go overboard with the essential oils. The oils are potent and could cause
skin irritation or another reaction if you use too much. If you are pregnant or nursing, do not use
any mosquito repellent, natural or otherwise, until after you've gotten it cleared by your physician.
Natural Mosquito Repellent Ingredients you are making large amounts of mosquito repellent, a
good rule of thumb is to mix the repellent so it's 5-10% essential oil, so mix 1 part essential oil
with 10-20 parts carrier oil or alcohol. For a smaller batch use:


10-25 drops (total) of essential oils
2 tablespoons of a carrier oil or alcohol
The essential oils that work well against mosquitoes are:




cinnamon oil
lemon eucalyptus oil
citronella oil
castor oil
Safe carrier oils and alcohols include:





olive oil
sunflower oil
any other cooking oil
witch hazel
vodka
Natural Mosquito Repellent Recipe
Mix the essential oil with the carrier oil or alcohol. Rub or spray the natural insect repellent onto
skin or clothing, using care to avoid the sensitive eye area. You'll need to re-apply the natural
product after about an hour or after swimming or exercise. Unused natural insect repellent may
be stored in a dark bottle, away from heat or sunlight.

Mosquito Attractants
Use this list of items and activities that attract mosquitoes as a list of things to avoid or that can be used as
bait to lure mosquitoes away from you.

Dark Clothing
Many mosquitoes use vision to locate hosts from a distance. Dark clothes and foliage are initial
attractants.

Carbon Dioxide
You give off more carbon dioxide when you are hot or have been exercising. A burning candle or other
fire is another source of carbon dioxide.

Lactic Acid
You release more lactic acid when you have been exercising or after eating certain foods (e.g., salty
foods, high-potassium foods).

Floral or Fruity Fragrances
In addition to perfumes, hair products, and scented sunscreens, watch for the subtle floral fragrance
from fabric softeners and dryer sheets.

Skin Temperature
The exact temperature depends on the type of mosquito. Many mosquitoes are attracted to the slightly
cooler temperatures of the extremities.

Moisture
Mosquitoes are attracted by perspiration because of the chemicals it contains and also because it
increases the humidity around your body. Even small amounts of water (e.g., moist plants or mud
puddles) will draw mosquitoes. Standing water also allows mosquitoes to reproduce.
The earliest insect repellents included smoke, mud, and various plant substances. .
Mosquitoes
The first line of defense against mosquitoes is to seal their point of
entry. Mosquitoes are most active in the early

morning and early evening. They seek areas of still air because they are hampered by breezes.
Close windows and doors on the side of your house which are opposite the breeze.

The most important measure you can take is to remove standing water sources. Change
birdbaths, wading pools and pet's water bowl twice a week. Keep your eavestroughs clean
and well-draining. Remove yard items that collect water.
 If you're using the barbeque, throw a bit of sage or rosemary on the coals to repel
mosquitos.
 Campers often report that the very best mosquito repellent is Avon Skin-So-Soft® bath
oil mixed half and half with rubbing alcohol.
Stings: The Finer Points
Although bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets generally won't go out of their way to attack,
they can be extremely aggressive if you disturb their nests or bother them while they're feeding.
They're attracted by perfumes and scented body care products, as well as by sweet foods such
as ice cream, fruit juices, and watermelon. Bright-colored clothing can also make you a target.
If you do get stung, the following tips can help minimize the problems:
Bumblebees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets can attack repeatedly, so if you get
stung, get out of the area immediately. If you're stung by a yellow jacket, avoid
swatting at it. Crushing the venom sac releases a chemical that incites its nestmates to attack. Honeybees can sting only once, but the stinger and venom sac
they leave in your skin pump venom for two to three minutes. Remove them
immediately, being careful not to squeeze the venom sac. The safest way to do this
is to scrape them out with a credit card or the dull edge of a knife. If the stinger
remains behind after you've scraped away the venom sac, remove it gently with
tweezers.

DEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide), a powerful insecticide found in over 400 repellents. DEET
can peel paint, damage rayon and spandex, and melt plastic. Up to 56 percent of DEET applied
to the skin enters the bloodstream, and reactions to it include skin rashes, lethargy, muscle
spasms, nausea, and irritability. An extreme reaction can cause seizures and

even death. So it's hardly worth using DEET to deter insects unless you're someplace with high
rates of insect-borne disease or you experience severe allergic reactions to bites and stings
