Summer – sun, barbecue, bathing, but also mosquitoes, manderers, flies, wasps and other summer annoying uninvited guests who will be happy to go with you, wait for you in the forest, find you at the pond… Do you want to spend warm days without them this year? You can try one of the natural repellents that really work.
Holidays without pimples, itching and fear of infection is certainly the dream of each of us. The good news is that the insects have a very good sense of smell and a clearly formulated answer to the question that smells really hate. Because scientists have found what bothers mosquitoes and other unpleasant summer companions, we can use the results of these research in a simple fight for our peace and quiet. The big positive of all the products described is the fact that these are no industrially produced preparations, but quite ordinary herbs, spices, or raw materials from the kitchen.

Lavender as the main fighter
If the insects really hate something, then they are strong aromas of essential oils. At the moment, perhaps most of us mean lavender – and it’s right. But it is definitely not the only one that can take care of our comfort. Plants know best how to defend against enemies, and we can successfully use their defensive methods.
Lemon grass discourages flying mosquitoes
If you want to discourage mosquitoes just from a nearby pass around your head (with a distinctive whistle that forces you to move unusual movements), use the essence of lemon grass. Along with lavender, tea tree oil and a little distilled water, you create a perfect home repellent, which with its efficiency can easily match the most expensive you can find in the drugstore.
We mint love, mosquito hates her
Like lemon grass, it smells difficult insects also peppermint, from which we people like to cook tea, make candies, or add it to toothpaste. Believe that mosquitoes would never buy anything like that…. And not only they, the mint essences reliably discourage ants and (arachnophobic, sharpen!) Also spiders.
The magical effects of the tea tree
Although the tea tree is definitely not common, Tea Tree oil is commonly purchased in shops. Add it to any home repellent and see how effective this natural product is. This time you can also rely on not to drink the blood of mosquitoes, but even fleas that you can meet in nature and in the garden without stroking a sloping dog. By the way: the fleas of dogs go to man, so Mr. Komárek says what he wants.
Strong herbal essences, that’s right
We have probably already directed in the right direction. Yes, difficult insects are very sensitive to distinctive plant odors that we usually perceive as fragrances. So we can also entrust ourselves in the care of rosemary, thyme, basil, or lemon eucalyptus. Garlic, cloves or cinnamon also do excellent work. You can prepare all repellents either according to the previous instructions or add herbs to alcohol, which after a few days you pour into a sprayer and your summer protection from these enemies will be ready.
For man and the environment
Ecological insecticides have many advantages that we will appreciate. It is a health safety and environmental friendliness, low financial demands, absence of unnecessary packaging, or even driving gas. But the truth is also that it will not be enough to apply them once a day, for maximum efficiency, take such a repellent in a small bottle everywhere so that you can repeat the application after approximately two hours. But it is not such a problem and the benefits clearly prevail.
