#Mosquito control experiment status: #eucalyptus #lemon oil #repellent works, and doesn't melt plastic like #DEET -- however, need to change clothing between inside and outside, otherwise you fill up any small enclosed spaces with eucalpytus lemon oil and you start choking on the fumes. Yes, my pants were rapidly deployed outside (I put on other pants, don't worry).

"...four active ingredients are scientifically proven to work on mosquitoes.
...if a mosquito repellent includes one of these active ingredients then it should prove effective as long as it is applied "like a sun cream" to all exposed skin."

🦟 Can we prove mosquito repellents actually work? What kind is best?

Unnamed tributary of Darby Creek, PA

Mosquitos disappeared when I entered this cold tributary 😊

The water temperature was 3˚C (~6˚F) lower than that at its mouth (Darby Creek), where I was surrounded by many mosquitos even with DEET 😉

While it makes sense, it is a bit strange and very refreshing with cold water – I was wearing sandals 😊

Fallfish and Sunfish are active in Darby Creek, and Creek Cubs were found here.

Und danke an @Mylin für den heißen Tipp - Schwarzkümmelöl 1/50 (vermutlich mit Wasser (oder mit Alkohol?)) verdünnt als #Repellent gegen #Zecken. Ich teste das (was der Kater wohl dazu sagt?).

Love to hear what customers are saying about Goats' Day Off Natural Lemongrass & Eucalyptus with Citronella Essential Oil Mosquito Repellent Lotion.

No need to kill mosquitoes, flies, and ticks when you can simply hide from them and avoid harmful chemicals such as DEET (an insecticide that can cause allergic reactions, seizures, chronic headaches, fatigue, respiratory disorders, and skin conditions). Insecticides aren't just harmful to insects, they're harmful to humans, as well.

We have two size-options available: Regular (7 oz. $9.99) & Mini (3.5 oz. $5.99) so you can take your bug protection with you wherever you go.

Many people turn to toxic bug repellents that are absorbed into their blood through the skin. Studies now show that exposure to insect repellents and other pesticides indicates a higher risk of cancers.

Why not switch from commercial, chemical-filled insect repellents to our safe, natural essential oil insect repellent lotion?

Goats’ Day Off Natural Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, & Citronella Essential Oil Lotion has no harmful, toxic ingredients. Instead, we have skin-nourishing pure essential oils and healthy skin-loving oils, such as avocado oil, organic sweet almond oil, organic castor oil, organic shea butter, and grapeseed oil, to moisturize your skin while protecting it from insect bites.

Here are my proposed corrections to Spartan Mosquito's ad on Amazon. Instead of showing biting flies, stable flies, gnats, and chiggers, they bought stock photos of a ked (Lipoptena cervi?), a heleomyzid fly (Suillia quinquepunctata?), a gall midge (Dasineura gleditchiae?), and a true velvet mite (Trombidiidae). #insect #repellent #entomology #TaxonomyFail

OK, how many mistakes can you find? Screenshot is from Spartan Mosquito's Amazon page and shows the organisms repelled by its GO! spray (picaridin). #TaxonomyFail #entomology #insect #acarology #arthropod #nature #repellent #fly #Diptera #mosquitoes #ticks #chiggers #medical
