Why should you use a mosquito repellent with essential oils?

Essential oils work very effectively and keep insects away in a natural way. A homemade mosquito repellent with essential oils is very quick and easy to prepare and is by no means expensive compared to other natural mosquito repellents found at the organic store. This is because the ingredients for preparing a homemade bug spray are comparatively cheaper.

However, keep in mind that natural mosquito repellents may not last as long as their chemical versions.

Which essential oils keep mosquitoes away?

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different recommendations for all-natural mosquito repellents? Why would an essential oil mosquito repellent recipe work so well for one person while another would be happy with a completely different mixture?

Different essential oils help against different mosquito species

However, there are over hundreds of different species of mosquitoes in Germany alone and over 3,000 in the whole world! Different oils repel different insects. Therefore, it’s best to use a combination of multiple essential oils to effectively repel multiple types of walkers.

If you’ve used an all-natural insect repellent in the past with no success, that doesn’t mean natural insect repellents will never work for you. It just means that you should try different types of essential oils.
