Christy –
Living in Zimbabwe mosquitoes are quite bad in the summer so we use citronella oil in a spray bottle and spray around when we are on the verandah and also add it to a candle that we burn.
When we go to the bush on our frequent safari trips, we make our own insect repellent that we spray on our skin, I use citronella, lemon, eucalyptus, clove, peppermint with a drop of liquid soap and then water all mixed in a spray bottle and it works a treat.
