Yo compro Aceite esencial de Menta de Gato y el aceite puro de Girasol para diluirlo. Funciona perfectamente. Saludos de Hanna Bild

Aceite esencial de Menta de Gato es estupendo para prevenir picaduras de mosquitos!

Leí que los aceites de menta de gato y de litsea son mejores que el Deet (que es un químico y debe usarse con precaución) para un repelente de mosquitos, así que estoy probando eso, mezclado con otros aceites. Y también agregando aceite de soja que parece dar una protección más prolongada.
