- How to prevent mosquito bites? In the summer, we all want to spend more time out in the fresh air, take walks in the park, and enjoy the greenery and flowers. But mosquitoes can ruin even the most wonderful vacations. Btw, research has proven that mosquitoes can rapidly learn and remember the smells of hosts, and that’s what makes some people more preferable than others.
Did you know, for example, that mosquitoes just hate the lavender smell? This is an herb that’s super easy to get ahold of. You can also just set small bushels of lavender around your backyard living area. So if you taste especially sweet, here's the list of the recipes for natural fragrances that will scare the mosquitoes away, so you can enjoy the pleasures of summer. Try them instead of reaching for more chemical sprays!
TIMESTAMPS:

SUMMARY:
- Citronella is from the lemongrass plant and covers up the smell of carbon dioxide and lactic acid that our bodies give off.
- Lemongrass is a beautiful ornamental grass that originates from Asia. It works like citronella, but even stronger!
- This one might come as a surprise - mosquitos hate the smell of cedar!
- Peppermint is one of the most versatile plants out there. It can be found in an essential oil, teas, candles, and even lotions! To keep mosquitos away, fill a small spray bottle with water, 2 large spoonfuls of witch hazel, then add 10 drops of peppermint oil and shake ‘er up.
- Like citronella, the powerful smell of eucalyptus interferes with the mosquito’s senses so that it can’t find its food.
- Just eating garlic interferes with our pheromones and makes us smell different, making it hard for mosquitoes to find us.
- Plant marigolds around your backyard to repel mosquitos. You could even trim the flowers and put them in a vase on your outdoor table, and mosquitos will leave you in peace.
- Catnip contains nepetalactone, and scientists say its scent is 10 times stronger than your everyday bug spray.
- This is another herb that’s good in the kitchen and for repelling mosquitos. Rosemary is super aromatic, which basically means it has a powerful but pleasant scent - and bugs hate it!
- The most effective way to use sage against mosquitos is to add it to your outdoor fire.
- Feel free to give the inside of your home protection from mosquitos by hanging dried mint or sprinkling clumps of it around the house or on outside surfaces.

Who’s watching this while a mosquito is flying near you right now in ur room👋😡
Me
That's happening right now
Me ..and is so f*** annoying

And when it's close to your ear it does that annoying sound
Hey, Neem is not expensive it is locally found in India everywhere
Its only free in India otherwise its thousands per kg in market
Whole video is timepasss. , these are not practical solutions
According transporting outside of Hindustan, it is.
@@Mm-zt1gk It's locally grown everywhere. One Neem tree is grown at my neighbors garden. Whenever I need I pluck some leaves.
Same
But for other countries it is not.
And i use it to bath.
I'm beginning to realize why others seem to have problems with mosquitoes but I never seem to. I use a lot of garlic, basil, sage a little rosemary sometimes and other things to flavor my pasta, toast, pizza and some other foods every few days or more frequently if I've the budget to make good food more often. Even when I don't have much money, I usually season my white meats and eggs for filling and more tasty meals with things like those. Turns out some things I like most, mosquitoes hate most. My preferred diet is mosquito armor?
Orange peel works too. Just sun dry a good amount of orange peel then scatter them all around your house. The sweet scent it gives off makes mosquitos keep off. My mum taught me this and it works like magic.
This is a great tip. I will give a try. Thank you dear.
@@00kidney Always welcome, dear
how do i grease a house with dried oranges? i think thats not work,when they are thirsty, nothing can stop them
Yeah,every African child botn before before 1990 must know this
Wow!! Really I’m try oranges peels. Knowing my baby sister love oranges I’m take her left over oranges peels and put them all over my room and outside the house to have them stay outside thank love for this tip. 😊😊
There’s a mosquito in my room while I’m watching this 🙄
Yaku Hane same 😡
Same
Me to!!! Fukker buzzing
Me too

Here in India, the neem trees are all over the place. They grow like weeds. Never knew that it had this mosquito repellent properties
Did you still have mosquito problems?
send me some
Probably why they were planted before ppl forgot
Yep, I am cutting them off as they are falling leaves in autumn
@@BoiFast yep, they don't smell much
I just break out my V9 flame thrower and sweep the yard twice a week. The neighbors give me strange looks, but it sure is fun.
😂
Same
🤣😂🤣
You must be one of those big brain people
Exactly what I feel like doing to all mosquitoes...
Marigolds I'm glad made the list. Saw the power of those when at a summer camp had to work in a cement bunker for the power generator after the winter. The cool dark damp space was totally filled with mosquitoes which were quite hungry. As the trip included spring landscaping, had 2 flats of marigold starts. Slid them in the generator bunker and left the door open. 1/2 hour later the space was completely devoid of any mosquitoes. No spray or repellent needed to take care of batteries. replace the coolant and oil, etc in the space. Never seen a space cleared completely in 1/2 hour before without spray. Now I have marigolds, peppermint, and Lavender in my gardens along my roses.
15 ways of natural way to get rid of mosquitos:
1. Citronella

Great comment, mosquitoes are very serious problem here in Los Angeles.
It works! Thank you!
If you're from Texas then use a flamethrower
🤣😅
Arlington, Texas here!
Ageratum (aka: Floss Flower) is indeed an annual, which means you DO need to replant each year. A perennial is one that blooms each year on it's own.
Mosquitoes do not like me, but they like my daughter.
Thanks for the marigolds.
Absolutely love this video , it’s really big help and thank you and support with you .
Thanks for all of the organic ways to repel mosquitoes.
Floss flowers are an annual Perennial flowers are those that continue to grow year after year after remaining dormant throughout the winter. Annuals typically are planted in the spring and summer months, bloom for the season, and then die. Gardeners often supplant perennial gardens with lively, colorful annuals. Annuals are also commonly used as borders and in containers and flower boxes to brighten up the landscape.
Glad that somebody knows the difference
So basically I need to mix all essential oils and spray all around and everyone... Also I should eat sleep bath and talk garlic
Simple & EASY REMEDY. Use MOSQUITO COIL. Off they go!

Thank you so much for sharing the information.. hopefully we can go outside now with natural ingredients.

I'm going to have to try all of these methods. I used to have Rosemary growing and now that I think of it mosquitoes were less around then.

Listerine works as a mosquito repellent too in a spay bottle. Spray directly on your skin, no oily residue, minty fresh
Original Listerine, tobacco tea, and a few drops of dawn dish soap diluted in water, make the very best insecticide you can get. I used it when I lived in Florida. Never had fire ants or roaches anywhere near the house.

I like to make a water and mouthwash mixture in a spray bottle and spray it every couple days around entrances to my home and the the kitchen stove and sink it seams to help keep them outside, and if they do get in away from where I'm cooking. Also love the mosquito zapper tennis rack for next to where i sit in my livingroom:)
Great I am going to try few of this idea. Thank you so much 💓
This is better and safer than using those toxic chemicals at the Depot Stores

Thank you for yuor sharing sir... God bless you...
One day I was walking around my yard and the bugs, including mosquitoes, were biting me and just "hanging" around my body. I decided to use hair spray. When I had curled my hair one day and sprayed my hair, the bugs weren't bothering me at all. So,I decided to try it on my body, face, and feet. The bugs, including the mosquitoes, hated it! Try it out!
Simple & EASY REMEDY. Use MOSQUITO COIL. Off they go!
Bad chemicals
Listerine works, better to spray body with, maybe
THANK YOU THANK YoU you guys are the best channel ever I dont even know how to say how much I love you this helped because there are a pack of musqito virus that is bad in my city.
Which of them helped you?
@Sarthak Banerjee lol, both are spelled the same my man. Give him a break. Don't be such a picky paul.
Melaleuca Alternifolia or Tea Tree Oil, are used to use Melaleuca body lotion and would practice for hours at a golf range near a river bottom in Fort Worth. I noticed I was the only person there in the evenings without mosquito issues.
That was a great presentation. Thanks.
Love your videos brother
Thanks for this information! I use catnip for myself and my horses! I just let it grow all over and pick it whenever the mosquitoes are bad! Catnip also is. GREAT for BLACK FLIES & GNATS!!! All you need to do is crush up a handful and wipe inside your horses ears,face and body wherever gnats bite so bad it can bleed! The horses and dogs love it and so do I! I’m going to learn how to make my own essential oil because it grows prolifically, is free and effective! Maybe you can do a video on how to make your own essential oils! That would be great!
I am learning something new of natural plants against mosquitoes. I'll try to find the indicated planted I need to get rid of them out my court and home. My family and I are always exposed to malaria due to those unloving insects. Tychique from Bangui, Central African Republic
Literally about to try ALL OF THESE

We use window screen. We built a porch and screened it in. We also built a free standing deck; put a pergola over it and screened the whole thing with clear plexi on the top. All expensive; but will last for years of enjoyment.
Pearce cloves in orange exposing the flower side & u get a great bug repellant
I have more them 40 Mosquito bites. I have a big patch of mosquito bites and they’re super itchy!
This is great advice
I might want to go to the doc
That's sad I feel sorry for u
Dab straight Tea Tree oil on itchy bites for relief
Mayacoon 1 .. wear full coverage clothes.
Back again to thank u Bse I Jst mixed lavender… rosemary and peppermint and I have not seen even 1. Thank u for this. Iam e happiest
Thank you for sharing this video. Will definitely share it coz were in state of calamity already (actually national calamity) due to dengue.
Mary .. burn cowdung cakes.
Throw phenyle in cesspools of standing water.
Prevention is better than cure.
You may also use camphor to keep mosquitoes at Bay.
I use vicks chest rub. Rub it on my wrists, ankles, behind my knees and dot my ears and neck with it. Works great and I love the smell.
Geraniums are also great to eliminate mosquitos, they have beautiful flowers and bloom all summer until the first frost.
