Against mosquitoes:
Citronella oil
The effect of citronella oil has long been known, as it is considered a powerful mosquito repellent. Extracted from the leaves and stems of the Cymbopogon genus, this essential oil is known for its strong and refreshing citrus scent. Citronella oil drives mosquitoes away, making it harder for them to find and bite you.
How to use it?
-Make a homemade spray: dilute citronella oil with water and a carrier oil (e.g., coconut oil). Spray the mixture onto your skin or clothing before heading outdoors.
-Light candles infused with citronella oil, or use citronella oil in diffusers to create a mosquito-free zone even in outdoor environments.

How to use it?
-Plant lavender bushes or flowers in your garden or outdoor areas to naturally repel mosquitoes.
-Use lavender essential oil by diluting it with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut oil) and applying it to your skin or clothing.

-Gently apply the diluted geranium oil to your skin (e.g., your arms, legs, and neck). Avoid applying it to sensitive areas or broken skin.
Reapply: Reapply the oil every few hours or as needed, especially if you are in an area with a large mosquito population.
