Many people like to get out into nature in good weather, but their vacation can be ruined by close proximity to mosquitoes.
However, even without special store-bought products, you can repel unpleasant insects.
What methods can be called the most effective?
Aromatic herbs
If you are going to sit around a fire, you can solve the mosquito problem very quickly and effectively. To do this, just burn some wormwood or juniper along with the firewood.
Insects find these smells extremely unpleasant, so they will not bother you.
Essential oils
Few people know that mosquitoes for some reason do not like the smell of vanilla. It is worth using it. Just add a few drops of aromatic oil to your regular body lotion. After that, you can safely go for a walk.
Lemon
A lemon-based remedy is considered no less effective. The citrus fruit is cut, put into water, and infused. Afterwards, the aromatic liquid should be applied to exposed areas of the skin.
If desired, lemon water can also be applied to clothes and hair.
