What other natural mosquito repellants work besides garlic and red cedar?

Question

I know garlic works because I use it. I sprinkle garlic powder on the door sills and window sills, and it kills the pesky things, and I read that red cedar also affects them but I'm wondering wnat else works. You have to like the smell of garlic to use it and I do like it. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

alligator lard that's what the Indians used

Answer 2

there's a plant that smell like a lemon, but I forget the name.

Thankn about the Hydrocortisone tip, I use ammonia and it does the same job.

Answer 3

I can't suggest a repellent but would recommend a dab of Hydrocortisone on mosquito bite spots - it helps very quickly and is safe for kids and adults.
