Natural/Deet Free Mosquito Repellent?

kittie · Jun 24th, 2008, 11:57 PM

I'm not sure if this is in the right section or not ..

But can someone recommend a natural, home made or deet free mosquito repellent? All the information floating around about deet mixed with sunscreen is really freaking me out!

Thank you! :)

I use a natural mosquito repellent that works amazingly. It smells strongly of citronella, which I find pleasant, but could be annoying if you are sensitive to fragrances or prefer a scent-free product. Go to your local health-food or natural foods store and check out what they have. I did some shopping around before I found one that really works for me.

You can get a body blend and wear it, or the synergy blend and put a few drops in a lighted candle into the melting wax. I think there's also a spritzer.

Avon "Skin So Soft" is a good insect repellant
