Mosquito Repellents

West Nile Virus:

Insect Repellents

Natural & Botanical Repellents

The Annals of Internal Medicine (June 98)
reports: Plants whose essential oils have
been reported to have repellent activity
include citronella*, cedar, verbena,
pennyroyal, geranium, lavender, pine,
cinnamon, rosemary, basil, thyme,
allspice, garlic, and peppermint. Unlike
synthetic insect repellents, plant-derived
repellents have been relatively poorly
studied. When tested, most of these
essential oils tended to give short-lasting
protection, usually less than 2 hours.

*Citronella is registered with U.S. EPA

as an insect repellent. Studies show that
citronella can be an effective repellent,
but it provides less protection time than
most DEET-based products. While all of
the natural repellents mentioned above
provide shorter coverage, they provide
safer coverage. Moreover, they may

be ideal for shorter evening chores like
walking the dog, grilling, or taking out
trash and recycleables.

Plants, trees, and grass can provide oil that in certain
applications has been found to be effective and safe.

- Also -

The Grass of China does contain Citronella oil.
The Citrosa Plant is a hybrid plant that is a

cross between the Afican Gernmanium and
Grass of China. It has insect repellent

properties (when rubbed on clothing, etc.)
