Please, does anyone know of a natural but effective mosquito repellent

I had one and lost it. It needs alcohol, cloves and baby oil. I live in East Africa and really need it! Please let me know.
Thank you all so much.

    @Akello Pastor Eve Have you tried to "Google" your question? Might be a lot faster.

    I use 1 litre of rubbing alcohol and a bag of cloves..... soak together for a week...... then filter out the cloves and add a 356ml? Bottle of baby oil. The rubbing alcohol and baby oil I get from the dollar store.

    Here is a post with some recipes- we use the Super Strong Insect Repellent in the summer and it works like a dream- http://wellnessmama.com/2565/homemade-bug-spray/

    East Africa? Cool. I was gonna say that out here we use regular bug spray.

    Believe it or not...fabric softner sheets work great. I made some into flowers with a button center & pin back, works great.

    Thank you very much every one. I will use the one of Jackie Cell-Doek, as I can get this here. There a lot of things we can not get here in East Africa :) and use for granted back home, at least I did. Thank you again and God bless you all.
