Mosquito Repellent Herbs

Mix fresh Catnip, Tulsi - Krishna or Vana, Lemon Balm, Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua), Indian Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus), and Peppermint, leaves and their stems, put them together, and tear up a bit, and then place in small bowls around sitting areas on your patio or yard, and the aroma from them will waft on the breezes and help keep the bugs away. You can take a small handful of the mix and rub on your exposed skin for extra protection. You can make a tea with warm water, sun tea, steep a long time, strain, put into spray bottle to use as a spray repellent.
