5 BEST HOMEMADE MOSQUITO REPELLENTS

March 24, 2022

Winters are gone and those lethal, cold-blooded tiny mosquitoes are back to their duty. They have caused much trouble to the people by infecting them with malaria, dengue and other viral infections that have severely made people ill and also resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people. In this dengue situation, protection is compulsory for everyone. So, not only you but your family members also have to stay protected indoors and outdoors. At this time, mosquito repellents are wonders to keep you safe. So, here are some of the best homemade mosquito repellents that you can make at home and keep yourself healthy.

Why Do You Need Homemade Mosquito Repellents?

The chemical repellents available in the market are too expensive. Everyone needs to have a repellent with him or her whether a kid or an adult. So, it becomes big-priced for families. So, homemade mosquito repellents can be an economical option. Also, the chemical repellents are not suitable for all skin types. They may cause irritation to the skin. So, in order to prevent any damage to the skin, natural remedies should be chosen. Here’s how you can stay on budget, keep your skin safe and keep the mosquitoes away from you.

Lemon Eucalyptus Oil

  • 90ml of any carrier oil (olive or coconut oil)

How to make it?

Take a 100ml container. Add the above-mentioned ingredients and mix well. Then apply this mild mixture to your exposed areas.

Peppermint Oil And Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a mild oil that works wonders for skin conditions along with working as a potential mosquito repellent. While peppermint is a strongly effective essential oil to keep these tiny creatures at a bay because it contains elements like menthol and limestone.

What you need:

  • 30ml of coconut oil
  • 12 drops of peppermint oil

How to make it?

  • Mix peppermint oil and coconut oil together.
  • Mix well and apply it to your skin.

Neem Oil And Coconut Oil

Ingredients: 

  • 10 drops of neem oil
  • 30ml of coconut oil
