RE: How to Survive the Mosquitoes During the Acapulco Wet Season

in #mosquitoes6 years ago (edited)

I think those storms is why it had been so humid here in Los Angeles too!
Also I heard catnip is good for Mosquitos,....
Greek catnip oil
Nepeta parnassica, a member of the mint family related to catnip, can ward off mosquitoes. The white and pink flowers grow up to 18 inches, but it’s the extract and oil from the bruised leaves that’s the most valuable.
One study found that oil from the plant could repel mosquitoes effectively for two to three hours. Researchers at Iowa State University also found catnip to be 10 times more effective than DEET at repelling mosquitoes.
