Recipes for natural mosquito repellents


Few things are more annoying to humans than the blood sucking insects known as mosquitoes and ever since the ancient times people have been experimenting ways to repel the insects. Today, the shelves in the supermarkets are  lined up with various chemicals to repel mosquitoes and many of us forget the toxicity of the chemicals. Fortunately, there are plenty of mosquito repellents that can be made from natural and non-toxic household products.

without the use of strong chemicals using natural
and non-toxic ingredients.
Every year, almost no matter where you live, as long as there are water available, mosquitoes will be around. The mosquitoes will find you no matter if you are in the woods, or in the middle of a major city. While some of us choose to live with the insect and accept the occasional bites from the blood sucking insect, others will do almost anything to get rid or kill the insects.

In the supermarkets today, a large number of different mosquito repelling solutions are sold. Most of these solutions are based on synthetic chemicals that can be more or less toxic to humans and the nature in general. Others are known as mosquito traps which operate either by burning gas or through electrically zapping the insects. The wide variety of different mosquito repellents that try to attract our attention very easily makes it easy for us to forget that there are ways to get rid of the blood sucking beast through nothing but natural and non-toxic household ingredients.
