I am going to experiment this summer with using the essential oil of the lemon eucalyptus to see how we go.
I haven't come across anything natural yet that is totally effective. I've tried just about every natural remedy you can think of! We live near a creek and the mossies here are big and numerous so fingers crossed.

Good old E.O. of Citronella works well, too.

This is what we use. Bought from Amazon. I bought some for my daughter to take on her trip to Ecuador, but she forgot it! Should have told her to look up Bill. ;)

We use eucalyptus EO and Do-Terra's insect EO (I love the smell of Do- Terra's insect EO) with good results.

Sigh...I've tried it and the mosquitoes here don't seem to mind it at all. I'm glad it works for you:bearhug:

Hello :flower:
Does it say what the other ingredients are? the 70%? Wouldn't it be funny if she did bump into Bill!?

Yes, it seemed to work the last time I used it, which was quite awhile ago, though.
