It seems like this Summer mosquitoes are abound! Here’s another natural remedy to keep these pests away: clove oil. Add 2 drops of clove essential oil into 2 teaspoons of your favorite unscented lotion. Apply to ankles, wrists, and neck. This sweet scent is pleasant to us but mosquitoes will keep away up to 4 hours. This can be as effective as DEET-containing repellents.
