Lemon Eucalyptus for mosquitos

Submitted by CathyandAudrey on June 10, 2010 - 12:22pm

I was checking to make sure I had the most effective mosquito repellent, and found out that the CDC did a study and found that Lemon Eucalyptus is the MOST effective mosquito deterrent, even more effective than DEET!

Just thought I'd pass on the info....

available, but I am not sure of what other ingredients are in it. I just bought the lemon eucalyptus essential oil and will add it to my homemade spray. The oil is VERY inexpensive and lasts for a LONG time.
