HELP! IM DELICIOUS! I'm hop6with this being a community of experts I can get some help. Mosquitoes absolutely love me. I will get 10 bites covered with any bug spray I've tried. While my wife sits undisturbed with no spray. How can I find relief

I am exactly the same.. They like sweet blood I have found citronella oil to help keep them away you can dilute it and dab it on your skin.... Or you could take up smoking apparently that works too lol

I actually found that Skin So Soft bath oil works the best at keeping the lil buggers away - I've used it ever since I was a kid. And it doesn't smell as harsh as typical bug spray.

I have some, I'll try this. Do you have a ratio that works best for you

Try Lavender. When I worked in the building trade, I worked for 4 years, at a small builder in the village where the Norfolk Lavender farm is located & we did a few jobs there. Midges & mosquitos hate the smell of Lavender.

Grow some near windows & doors, buy some natural oil to wear. It all helps.

Catnip is another great plant for keeping the bugs at bay. Catnip, (also known as Catmint.) Is used in some commercial insect repellents & is even stronger than the chemical Deet,

I use 75/25 with almond oil but you can put more if you like.. Apparently 'curry plants' are also good at keeping them at bay from your garden
