I don’t know if it is or not. Smells sort of lemony and might help a little I guess, but with hubby having so many rain water barrels, ti’s hard to get rid of all of them. Even though he treats the water.
He also bought me two lavender plants because they are supposed to repel them, too. I didn’t know till I touched one of them that the leaves also smell lavender-ish. I can hardly wait till they bloom next year!
Yep, that must be what you have. I like that citrusy fragrance but mosquitos don’t seem to like it. They don’t bite me much any way but do buzz me a lot. If I rub the leaves and rub my arms and such, they don’t buzz me nearly as much.
I didn’t know lavender was supposed to repel them too. I just like the fragrance a lot.
Aunt Clara had a ran barrel for a while and Hubby tried treating it to keep mosquitos out. Didn’t do much good so he dumped the water out. We have more than enough water close by (a lake at the back of the farm) for the darn things to reproduce in.
