The use of plants and plant derivatives to repel insects or treat the bites dates back to classical antiquity. During that time, scholars from ancient Greece and Rome wrote about using plants on skin and clothing. So, it should come as no surprise why today's people use essential oils as mosquito repellent and a way to treat the bite.

Plenty of natural scents that are appealing to humans repel mosquitoes, such as rosemary and cedar. Continue reading to find out more.

How to use essential oils as mosquito repellent?

Essential oils bring several benefits, from relieving your stress to providing you with a night of restful sleep. Users of essential oils have found many applications for these naturally-derived oils. However, like any product, not all essential oils are created equal in quality. As a responsible consumer, you should do significant research about various insect repellent manufacturers before purchasing any oils.

If you are new to using essential oils, know that you can use them topically on your skin, diffuse them with a diffuser, or create a spray by diluting the oil with water, hazel toner, or vodka. While essential oils are natural and plant-based, they can be very potent. So, make sure to search the product’s effectiveness and application before using it.

There are various recipes for essential oil mosquito repellent available online, including rosemary and cedar. Since everyone has different scent preferences, you can experiment until you find the one that works for you. It is important to note as well that mosquito repellents use other scents to camouflage your body’s scent.

What smells do mosquitoes hate?

There are some smells that mosquitoes love, so having those smells in your yard is an invitation for these annoying pests. However, just as there are scents which mosquitoes love, there are others that they hate and will make sure to avoid.

Wearing scented oils mosquitoes dislike can be one way to keep them away from your skin (and your blood). One of the most famous scents that mosquitoes despise is citronella. However, there are a handful of other natural scents these creatures have an aversion to, including rosemary and cedar.

Why use natural essential oils to repel mosquitoes?

Your skin is a protective layer that stops infections and inflammations to further create internal complications. As such, your skin should receive proper care and attention to promote their optimum health.

When you apply products with synthetic chemicals as a mosquito repellent to your skin, it may cause skin irritation and other potential hazards. When you use a natural repellent, such as Rosemary and Cedarwood repellent, you are taking advantage of a safer method to repel insect bites without harmful side effects.

Sure, synthetic insect repellent products are more convenient and are readily available in most leading drugstores. However, natural essential oils offer more than just health benefits; you can keep the nasty insect bites at bay.

Where can you buy quality essential oil mosquito repellent products?

While you can use any type of bug spray to repel mosquitoes, DEET-free repellents are more effective. In case you are looking for a natural insect repellent with a rich fragrance, you can find one at Nature’s Botanical.
