Thank you! I had forgotten about citronella. I love cabbage and eggs, but I don't think I should do that to my husband. ;p

Lemon eucalyptus essential oil contains a lot of citronellal, and dilution products are quite effective at repelling insects.

Thanks! I bought the only citronella my drugstore had; I'll give it a try next time I see/hear a mosquito (the weather isn't nice enough for them ATM).
