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.

I wish we didn’t have to have them, but they saved our bacon during the drought. We actually pumped our used bathwater into one of them to re-use outside. I hope I never have to go through that hell again.

All the lakes around us, which aren’t even close, dried up. I mean REALLY dried up.
