What are some natural remedies for mosquitoes?

Answer by  rbiales (3441)

mosquitoes are feeding, so interfering with their ability to feed helps. They prefer high blood sugar, so keeping control of your levels helps, they don't like spicy foods so eating those helps. So does simply wearing netting so that they cannot get to your skin.

For preventative measures, there are several all-natural bug sprays available on the market. Citronella is also a natural product. To heal mosquito bites, applying toothpaste onto the bumps helps the itch and facilitates healing. Squito bites go away on their own faster when you don't scratch or think about them.

The most well known natural remedy is citronella - especially in the candle form. Some people swear by garlic - eating it in foods, as a supplement or rubbing a pinched garlic clove all over skin.

Try using some essential oils. Lavender and peppermint work really well. You can try eating a diet full of garlic, the scent comes through your skin and deters the mosquitoes.
