Here are some home remedies for mosquitoes that can help you get rid of this problem without any side effects.

Mosquito repellent is a must-have during the summer. It’s not just because mosquitoes are annoying, but also because they can carry dangerous diseases like malaria and yellow fever. There are many commercial mosquito repellents available in the market that use chemicals to keep away these pesky insects from bothering you. But with so many side effects and health hazards associated with these products, it is better to make them at home instead of buying them from stores.

Here are some home remedies for mosquitoes that can help you get rid of this problem without any side effects:

Citronella oil is the most common ingredient in commercial mosquito repellents available today.

Citronella oil is the most common ingredient in commercial mosquito repellents available today. It’s extracted from the leaves of a lemongrass plant, and it’s so effective at repelling mosquitoes because they don’t like the smell of it. Citronella oil also repels other insects like ticks, fleas and flies.

The reason why citronella oil works so well at keeping mosquitoes away is that mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide and lactic acid from people up to 100 feet away when these compounds are exhaled into the air. In addition to these two human-specific body odors, mosquitoes also react negatively to several volatile organic compounds produced by plants such as citronella grass and rosemary; however, citronella grass produces significantly more CO2 than other plants do—about 20 times more per gram—so it makes sense why this plant would be used as an active ingredient in many insect repellent products on store shelves today (1).

Lemon Eucalyptus Oil is also another effective natural insect repellent.

Lemon eucalyptus oil is also another effective natural insect repellent. It is made from the leaves of Eucalyptus citriodora, native to Queensland, Australia. Lemon eucalyptus oil can be mixed with glycerin or coconut oil to make a spray that keeps mosquitoes away from your skin. You can also use lemon eucalyptus essential oil by mixing it with water, then spraying it around your house or yard so that when mosquitoes try to land on you or any other object in your home, they will be repelled by the scent of lemon eucalyptus essential oil and fly away from you before landing.

One can plant it outside the house or around the garden to keep mosquitoes away.

Planting citronella grass is a great way of keeping mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes are repelled by the smell of citronella, so planting and growing it in your garden can help repel these annoying insects. One can plant it outside the house or around the garden to keep mosquitoes away.

This is a longer term solution as it takes time for this plant to grow and spread its aroma all over your property, but if you prefer natural methods for repelling mosquitoes then using citronella grass is an excellent choice!

You can make a spray using essential oils and water and spray it around the house to keep mosquitoes at bay.

• For the spray, mix 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup witch hazel in a spray bottle.
• Add 20 drops of any combination of essential oils, such as tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil or lemon oil.

Peppermint oil is another natural insect repellant that you can use.

Peppermint oil is another great option to keep the mosquitoes away. You can rub it on your skin or put it in a spray bottle and spritz it into the air. Peppermint oil is effective against a wide range of insects, including ants, spiders, fleas and ticks.

While you’re at the pharmacy picking up some peppermint oil, be sure to pick up some citronella candles as well! There are many types available that will provide both light and mosquito protection from flames too!

This is one of the most effective ways to keep mosquitoes away, as they don’t like the smell of camphor.

Camphor oil is made from the wood of a tree that grows in India. The oil itself has a very strong smell, and it’s toxic if ingested by humans. You shouldn’t put camphor around your home to keep mosquitoes away unless you want them to stay far, far away from you.

Use only small amounts of camphor or else it could be harmful to your health. Don’t use this remedy if you have asthma or allergies as well!

Camphor can be used in the form of smoke or powder. It can also be mixed with other oils such as citronella or eucalyptus oils before being applied on skin surfaces such as wrists/forearms (where mosquitoes may bite) or ankles; possibly mixing these ingredients with witch hazel would help too because its strong aroma will overpower whatever scent they’d try using against us–but don’t worry; there’s no need whatsoever when using these natural remedies so long as we stick together 🙂

The smoke of garlic repels mosquitoes naturally and it also keeps other insects away from your home.

You can create a natural mosquito repellent using garlic and water. You will need 4-5 cloves of garlic, water, a bowl, and a piece of cloth that can be used to cover your head while you inhale the smoke.

• Take 4-5 cloves of garlic and put them in the bowl.
• Add enough water to cover the garlic completely, then leave it for about 10 minutes so it can release its juices.
• Drain off any excess liquid from the bowl (you’ll want to keep this as it has anti-bacterial properties).
• Place your face over the bowl with the cloth over your head and breath in deeply through your nose for several minutes – this may sound strange but it works!

Plant citronella grass in your compound since the leaves can be used when rubbed on the skin

Plant citronella grass in your compound since the leaves can be used when rubbed on the skin. Citronella is an essential oil that is extracted from a variety of grasses and has been shown to have insect repellent properties. This extract contains geraniol, which is known for its strong odor and ability to ward off mosquitoes.

To use this remedy: Add 2 tablespoons of citronella oil or 2 teaspoons of citronella plant material (fresh or dried) to 1 cup water and heat over low heat until simmering; let steep 20 minutes then strain into a spray bottle; wipe onto exposed areas as needed before going outside.
