Don't know. Do know that taking 125mg B-1 Vitamin daily will stop them from biting you. Start 2-3 weeks prior to season and continue as long as needed.

This recipe is supposed to work well.  A big bottle of cheap blue mouthwash, 3 cups of Epsom salts and 12 oz. of stale beer. Mix together and spray. Doesn't harm flowers or pets. It is supposed to keep mosquitoes away for 80 days. This is outdoors of course.

Cheryl Kilpatrick · Answer

I plant large pots of lemon grass and place around my deck. Also have various scented geraniums mixed in, and this seems to help quite a bit.

Cindi · Answer

I don't know how natural it is, but I use AVON Skin So Soft bath oil spray (original scent) for mosquitos, ants, etc.  Insects hate the smell.  It also works for fleas, but has to be watered down since it's an oil, so I don't really use it for that.  Works on mosquitos though, I can vouch for that, and ants.  I feed the outside stray cats and the ants get in their food so I spray it on the base of the bowls.   it also takes off the goo from labels, and a lot more.   I swear by the stuff and buy the spray bottles, then I can refill them, but it lasts forever.

Marla · Answer

'Sweet Annie' plant. It smells good, grows up to 6' and keeps all the little pesty mosquitoes, knatts, and others away. You can also use the plant as you would Babies breath. Got Love That Sweet Annie!

Julianne Spreng · Answer

I agree with Marla.  Sweet Annie is very fragrant.  Will seed and reseed.  You can mow it, move it, and enjoy it as a forever perennial.  It is so fragrant it was used as a strewing herb for the floor.  Helped cover up unpleasant odors and chase away unwelcome insects.  Wait till you smell it after a rain!

Julianne Spreng · Answer

P.S. note on Sweet Annie:  Aphids love it.  So, it will attract them from other plants such as tomatoes.  You will notice them when you brush against the plant, but the aphids will not migrate elsewhere, because Sweet Annie is their favorite plant in the whole plant kingdom!

Andre Gaudreault · Answer

I have a trick. Not for mosquitoes, but for fruit flies. I put some leftovers in a large bowl and wait till it is full of fruit flies. Then I cover the bowl with the lid that I have left nearby and throw them outside. In one day, I can get rid of most of them.

CountryChick · Answer

The best hack for ridding your patio or porch from mosquito's is.. Empty Jar with a strip of cloth, with drops of   Eucalyptus oil on it. Put cloth in jar, drop drops of eucalyptus oil on it, close the lid. When you are outside, open the lid and the scent will keep them away. Some have also tried Lavender drops but i think eucalyptus oil works best.  :)

Johnna E. Nonboe · Answer

Mosquitoes don't come near a half lime fruit with cloves stuck in the cutting face. They also don't like citronella oil and eucalyptus oil. 
If you ad a small teaspon of citronella oil to the fabric softener (or citronella + vinegar instead of fabric softener) your clothes will smell wonderful and the best of all - mosquitoes will fly the other way and don't come near you. ;-)

We keep original Listerine in a spray bottle at each of our doors.  Spritz yourself/pets as you go out.  We've had no bites in years.

Dfm · Answer

ah mosquito season soon to be upon us again. those little blood suckers start their lives in stagnant or still water. get rid of the stagnate or still water around your yard. empty the saucers from under your potted plants. if you have rain barrels cover them with mosquitoe sized mesh. give the barrels a mosquito dunk. use mosquito dunk granular form in puddles that can't be drained. clean out your gutters so rain water will flow down the spouts.
