Spicy Repellant

Seems there is another way to keep the mosquito away by using spices such as clove, star anise and cinnamon bark for bathing.

The spices are mixed in small amount, then needed to be boiled for about two hours before the mixture was added to a pail of water. Then use it for bathing twice a day.

Another easier way is to buy natural mosquito repellents, mainly essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, castor, peppermint, tea tree, lavender, cedar, rosemary, verbena, pennyroyal, pine, cajeput, basil and thyme. My sister loves using lavender bath and other oils so i am quite sure mosquitoes will stay away 10 feet from her :D
