I would like to know the scientific basis for why this liquid repels mosquitoes. I don't know which ingredient is the main cause. I have been experimenting with it for four years myself, and it seems to be effective, so I would like to introduce it to you.
All you need is gin, mint oil, and chinaberry leaves.
Place the leaves in a jar, pour in the gin and leave to steep.
When the leaves change color like this, they are done. You can remove the leaves or leave them on.Put 30% of this liquid, add mint oil and mix well, then add the remaining water 70%.
↓In a container like this, add about 40 drops of mint oil.
It has a nice scent and doesn't cause rashes. It can be used by children, can be sprayed on the face, and doesn't stain clothes. But It's natural, the effect doesn't last long.
In places where there are 100 mosquitoes, Stay vigilant. Cover up as much skin as possible. and you need to apply this liquid evenly to your skin. Don't forget your palms, fingers, and ears. There are a lot of mosquitoes in Japan of summer. The mosquito repellents sold at home improvement stores are often strong medicines containing pesticides, and have small letters saying not to put them directly on the skin. They are scary medicines. However, they cannot prevent mosquitoes 100%.
