Hi Pam, hope Tiff, and Tyler, and Austin are doing well. Yeah that might work, I’ll give it a shot. Next year I’m putting citronella plants around my porch so that they don’t get in my house while I take forever to get out. Lol. Yes, monster mosquitoes down here. want some?

Hi Holly, This is your cousin Pam in Columbia. I heard on HGTV the other day that Mouthwash in a spray bottle helps keep mosquitos away. But of course in Arkansas you guys have monster mosquitos. Good luck. Hope it works.

There used to be a lotion that had citronella in it that was a bug-repellant…and then mom got candles that had it and she also used to sit citronella plants around where we used to sit outside. But I’m sure you could do something with the oils

Hi. Thanks for the tips and OI will keep those in mind. When you say citronella, what do you mean? The essential oils

I know this isn’t homemade, but I found Citronella was great at repelling those little suckas. Also somebody said if you buy something called apple cidar vinegar with mother and put a capful in your water or orange juice each day during bug season, it’s supposed to make your blood all blechy and unappealing to the bums.
