Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day
April through October . He said it works. He was right.
Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
Vitamin B-1( Thiamin Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat bananas,
the mosquitoes like you, - something about the banana oil
as your body processes it.
Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitoes
will be much less interested.
This is going to floor you, but one of the best
insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods
every day), is Vick's Vaporub.
Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off
a smell that bugs do not like,
so plant some in that garden also to help ward
off bugs without using insecticides.
"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time
"camping out" say that the very best mosquito
repellant you can use is
Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about
half and half with alcohol.
One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered
is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works great for mosquitoes and ticks,
don't know about other insects.
When all else fails--get a frog
Fight West Nile...pass this along to
all your friends in skeeter land!!!

I even have heard that garlic does artwork, like the previous responder pronounced. the only situation is that it repels kinfolk to boot!! For the particularly organic, the yarrow plant easily expels its repelling properties by utilising rubbing it on you and your clothing. of path the greater mainstream incorporate lemon oil, citronella and so on. whilst i'm traveling the desert, I leave my satisfaction on the border and positioned on a mosquito internet. no longer rather, yet very secure and effective. on your backyard, you're able to desire to plant lemongrass and yarrow. solid success

mix together 50ml Baby oil, 50ml Dettol, and 10 ml Citronella oil, it stinks like Deisel Fuel but sure does work. Oh yeah, apply to skin, don't drink it!!!
