Does anyone know of a harmless repellant to mosquitos? A natural one rather than one you buy at the pharmacy… ![]()
Also does eating certain foods do this naturally anyway?
You might try:
Heard eating garlic works.

What we do in life echoes in Eternity
taking B vitamins is supposed to repel mossies (don’t know if it works…maybe you can let me know
)
citronella is the most common natural insect repellant (you can get citronella candles)
Neem is also used

Thanx..
Cool, don’t know if its the B-vits or the Garlic, but I haven’t been bitten all year yet(tempting fate I know..) even when I got a few of them flying round the room.
Maybe I’ll give the citrenalla candles a go, if they smell nice, might help block the constant smell of sweat-drying sports kit in my room ![]()
Peace…
Just learned a new one
I just spent a month in Thailand and over there everyone uses Tiger Balm as a mosquito repellant…and surprisingly it works. That’s all I used after I found out and didn’t get one nible though I got chewed on before.

I’ve heard of Tiger Balm for bites but I didn’t know that it could be used as a repellent. I’ve also heard that citronella is not a very good repellent but it was used because it was one of the few fragrant oils that could withstand the relatively high temperatures such as in candles. I think it was more anecdotal than concrete.
Cheers,
Tiger Balm
Well, as far as usuing it on bites - I have no idea BUT that’s what the locals told us to use as a repellent and, sure enough it worked (yes - I was VERY surprised).
