Tackling the Great Outdoors : Homemade Mosquito Repellant

You are having a barbecue in your backyard and everything is going perfectly, except for all the mosquitoes. You can't find your repellant and people are getting annoyed.

Lavender oil should do the trick. Just add it to some water and wipe down your surfaces. You can even use it on your skin if you like.

Mosquitoes hate the smell of lavender like we hate the smell of garbage. The mosquitoes will abandon your furniture, table, and guests in favor of a better smelling meal. Plus lavender has the added bonus of smelling great.
