Homemade Repellents: Tired of Mosquitoes? Try These 6 Easy DIY Sprays at Home!

A homemade mosquito repellent can be made by crushing eight camphor tablets and mixing them with coconut oil, used in an old repellent machine or lit as a lamp.

Burning camphor and neem oil creates smoke that is effective against mosquitoes; other methods include sticking cloves into a lemon or burning cloves in mustard oil.

A spray can be made from chopped onion and garlic mixed with 4 cups of water, 4 tablespoons of red chilli powder, and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap; it is sprayed around the house, not on skin.

A repellent lotion can be made by mixing a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar, a quarter cup of witch hazel, and 20 drops of essential oil like rosemary, citronella, or eucalyptus.

Lemon eucalyptus oil and mint essential oil (mixed with water) are effective natural repellents; mint oil spray can be applied to skin.
