Citronella Essential Oil

Wasp repellent

I’ve been using my citronella for bug repellent all spring. Mixed with peppermint, a little dish soap and some water, it keeps the wasps out of my hedges as long as I spray them every few days.

Yellow fly deterrent

I mix this and lemongrass oil in a diffuser when the yellow flies are bad at work (May seems to be the season), and the scent keeps them away! I like the smell myself. It offers an uplifting vibe and keeps me feeling productive. Nice to control the yellow flies and avoid their painful stings.

Great for mosquitoes

I’ve been using citronella essential oil for 2 years now and it’s undoubtedly highly effective in preventing mosquito bites.
