Can this oil be used for a mosquito repellant? If so, how should it be mixed?

this is not that type of product, and will not be applicable for such usage; it is not satisfactorily arromatic at all, and should not be used for that purpose. It's not cheap, either........

Honestly, I don't know for sure. I bought this for the sole purpose of repelling moths, while freshening up the scent in my closet. Sorry, I don't know about the effects it would have as mosquito repellent.

I'm not sure. I would be a little hesitant putting it on my skin. It's very thick and the smell would be very pervasive. I bought it to ward off stink bugs. I use cedar balls soaked with this cedar oil and place them between my interior windows and the storm windows. Seems to work.

According to this it can be. http://www.ehow.com/how_2164041_use-cedar-oil-as-insect.html Keep in mind this of course isn't a skin contact situation and you will need other ingredients. On the other hand, your clothing, your household, and your pets will have an aroma reminiscent of an old english wardrobe. So there is an upside.

mix 3 drops with a carrier oil and rub each night onto bottoms of feet...It is a "hot" oil, so do not use it straight unless diffusing with it. Goes into bloodstream and disinfects!!! Fabulous!!!

We do NOT recommend that you do this at all. This oil should be used on its own. thank you.

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars. I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

That is EXACTLY what I bought this for. I mix my OnGuard with Coconut oil. They work perfectly for doterra oils

No, it is essential oil, very concentrated so you would mix it with a carrier oil, not the other way around.

I have a small, very wooded and grassy, lot (1/4 of an acre?) I mix a 2 gallon sprayer--6 oz of Mosquito Barrier, 2 oz oil and 2 gal water--and it more than covers the entire lot. I feel like it works pretty well.

Operating instructions indicate the following: "Additives are NOT recommended." I haven't tried it, however would ASSUME it to be alright if oils are used judiciously.

I use it premixed in my race boat outboard at 40:1. It is no heavier than other oils and I see nno reason it can't be injected.

I don't see why not - I use this to spray a combination of water and other oily substances like body oil and orange oil, and it works great.

I would see why not given its just peppermint oil. what you'd do though depending on what purfume or lotion you want to mix it with only add a small drop each time till it get's to be the smell you want. on the rare case that it messes with your skin try to water it down a little. when i got mine i figured out it needed to be watered down a good bit when mixing it with other scents. though for most oils that are natural, as long as you have not allergies to them, you can mix them with what you want. i hope this answers your question.

I have researched the oil and when mixing it yourself you would only use 10 drops of the oil in a pint of other ingredients. So while you think you are getting ripped off, you are not. 10 drops is all that is needed and it is the active ingredient.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

Hi,this oil really isn't an oil, it's watery. So I don't think it'll really mix with other oils. Maybe, I'm sorry I just don't know.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but I use this oil (mixed with others) in a diffuser, and bath water.

I just got the herbicide yesterday, & I'm reading the directions now. It clearly states to NOT mix oil & water as it apparently affects the efficacy. So, I suppose, you need to choose using one or the other.

I have the Garden Safe Neem Oil, Not the Neem Pro 100. I am afraid the mixing may be different for the different kinds. Sorry I can't help you.
