Monsoon season: 7 natural mosquito repellents

Citronella Oil: This essential oil is a classic natural mosquito repellent. Apply a diluted solution (a few drops in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba) to your skin or clothes.

Lemongrass Oil: Similar to citronella, lemongrass oil has a strong citrus scent that repels mosquitoes. Use it diluted on your skin or clothes, or diffuse it in your home.

Lavender Oil: While not as strong as citronella or lemongrass, lavender oil can still provide some protection against mosquitoes. 

Neem Oil: Neem oil has a pungent odor that mosquitoes dislike. Mix a few drops of neem oil with a carrier oil and apply it to your skin or clothes.

Clove Oil: Clove oil has a strong, spicy aroma that repels mosquitoes. Due to its potency, it should be heavily diluted before applying to skin.

Peppermint Oil: Peppermint oil's refreshing scent not only keeps you cool but also deters mosquitoes.

Plant Power: Certain plants like citronella grass, marigolds, basil, and rosemary can naturally repel mosquitoes when planted around your home.
