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

Homemade mosquito repellents

Lemon eucalyptus essential oils contain elements that are effective in keeping the mosquitoes away. If applied to the skin, citronellal and p-methane 3,8-diol (PMD) can repel these creatures.

Here’s what you need to make it?

  • 10ml of 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. Coconut oil also aids in slowing down the evaporation of peppermint elements.

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

Homemade mosquito repellents

According to studies, neem can act as one of the best homemade mosquito repellents because of its strong aroma and natural repellent elements. If only 2% of neem oil is mixed with coconut oil, it produces a composition that protects against several species of mosquitoes.

Ingredients: 

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

Process: 

  • Add the required quantity of neem oil to coconut oil.
  • Mix well and rub onto the affected areas of the body.

Tea Tree Oil and Coconut Oil

Homemade mosquito repellents

Ingredients:

  • 10 drops of tea tree oil
  • 30ml of coconut oil

Method:

  • You need to blend tea tree oil and coconut oil together. 
  • Apply directly to the affected areas.

Garlic Spray With Lemon Juice

As strong as garlic tastes in food, it has quite the same strength in preventing the mosquitoes to come near you. Garlic has an element called allicin which is productive as an enemy of the mosquitoes. If used with a combination of lemon juice, the insect repelling properties of garlic are enhanced because of the acidic reaction.

Required things:

  • 5-6 garlic cloves
  • One tablespoon of mineral oil
  • One tablespoon of lime juice
  • 2 cups of water

Method:

  • Chop the garlic cloves finely.
  • Add mineral oil to it.

  • Now add lime juice and water to this infused mineral oil.
  • Fill into a spray bottle.
  • You can use it to spray on plants as well as your skin.
