does it repel mosquitos

Yes it does. Mix a set of drops with witch hazel and make a spray and apply it on your skin. The trick is that you need to apply more often than you would a deet type spray. You need to really smell it on your skin. While the scent is active on your skin it will confuse mosquitos. We used the product in the rainforest environment multiple times and it worked great. It is non-toxic so you can use it frequently.

it repelled the mosquitos in my home and i stopped getting bites. i can't speak for harsher environments,

my experience was positive with this oil, I don't have a big problem with mosquitos here but it sure kept the biting gnats off while working in the garden, and if there were any mosquitos it kept them away. I applied a thin layer to exposed skin and it seemed to do the job.

yes, it works very well and we think it smells nice. You do not need to use much at all.

Sorry about that previos answer. That was in reference to the Dynatrap. I mixed the oil w/ water in a spray bottle. It does repel some, but not all. Pleasant smelling & I don't feel I've exposed myself to harmful chemicals.

More or less. We saw a slight reduction in them. Also catches lots of small flying insects. We leave it running 24/7 in our small backyard during mosquito season.

I think it helped a little. It's a natural alternative to "Off", but doesn't work quite as well.

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden

Boy do they ever give off a fragrance and they do seem to repell the mosquito.....

It hasn't so far. Last year it ran continuously for about 4 months. This year hasn't been so mosquito-intensive, but it's still running strong.

Yes. It can be used to repel a variety of insects (primarily fleas and ticks both). http://www.ehow.com/about_6447560_diatomaceous-earth-used-tick-control.html and http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/diatomaceous_earth_fleas.html

This product has a 1-year warranty on defective parts. Unfortunately, the one I bought is still running. I say unfortunately, because while it is still running, it isn't catching any mosquitos. Lots of flies and moths, but very few mosquitos.

It helps to keep them mosquitos away for awhile...then they seem to get used to it. Just used it at a soccer game in a river town last week and my husband and I were much more comfortable than many others. It was better than not using anything. I will say that this works pretty well for gnats and smells good. Absorbine Jr. (muscle and joint topical liquid) works much better for mosquitos, but is stinky. You can find it in the OTC pharmacy department at WalMart or Walgreens.

I'm sure it would. It protects against all breeds of mosquitoes. Just make sure you have plenty of refills.

Some really powerful repellent.I jog for one (1) hour several days a week and all other sprays were a joke and mosquitoes seemed to laugh at it.I work in my garden for several hours (sometimes all day) and no bug will hit me even with one application.Randall

I've used it for gnats while fishing. I believe it's quite effective. Requires frequent application. Have not specifically tested it for mosquitos.

Hi Mary! It should! I bought it mostly to keep the mosquitos away but it should work as a tick deterent as well.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

It is recommended for mosquitos but I have not used it for that so I cannot give any first-hand expericence.

No, these are large incense sticks. You just light them and stick them in the ground or in a plant pot somewhere out of the way. I generally light 3 or 4 and they burn for hours, and they really do repel the mosquitoes!

I haven't noticed any smell nor that it repelled mosquitoes. If you break a leaf then the smell comes out but it is not overwhelming.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy this for the mosquito repelling qualities- the regular therms cells work excellent- your better off getting a regular lantern & some of those!
