Any recipes for natural sprays for mosquitoes? Either the ones to spray on your body or the ones to spray in the yard? We are over run and I need some help before I scratch my skin off from all the bites!
I use tea tree oil. I have a little water bottle and I put two cap fulls and fill the rest with water. Seems to work great! I also like to spray kids hair with it to keep lice at bay.

Buggins natural works great.
I've used other natural sprays and they worked.
Just read on Facebook that Johnson's creamy baby oil works great. Not sure about that one!

California Baby has one that works great and smells good! We'll have them here too - haven't yet but I know it's coming.

Tea Tree oil here. DH found some eucalyptus and lemon oil stuff made by Off. It works fairly well and is Deet free.

Avon's Skin So Soft.
Listerine (the mouthwash)...put it in a spray bottle and it works great. I just tried it out tonight at a soccer game and it kept the bugs away quite well.

Also...if you're in one place, try a fan. I blow a fan on us while we eat at the picnic table. Really helps.

In the summer, my parents always have a fan running outside to keep mosquitoes of the porch.

I bought a mosquito magnet. It was pricey but it helps.
