•Citronella
–Oil of citronella is an all-natural insect and animal repellentmade from the distilled oils of different varieties of grass, according to the National Pesticide Information Center.
–Unlike other varieties of pesticides, citronella not does kill mosquitos rather it repels them and other pests, reducing the number of mosquitos that land nearby. Researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario studied the effectiveness of citronella by using candles with a three percent concentration of the oil. The citronella candles effectively reduced mosquito landings by 42 percent, according to their study published in the National Institute of Health library.
–One benefit of using citronella as mosquito repellent is that it is safe and non-toxic to humans and animals (and even the insects). Although some people can have mild allergic reactions to the oil, even ingesting citronella will not affect humans it is simply broken down and passed out of the body through urine.
•Eucalyptus
–Oil of lemon eucalyptus extract (also known as p-menthane-3,8-diol, or PMD) is a plant-based ingredient that has been proven to prevent mosquito bites.
–The oil is processed to intensify its concentration of PMD and, in turn, increase its power and duration as a repellent.
–It is used as an alternative to DEET, which is the active ingredient in many popular insect repellents. While DEET is highly effective when it comes to warding off disease-carrying insects, some individuals are concerned about its possible side effects, such as irritation of the eyes and skin.
