We have mosquitoes about the size of birds in my part of the country. I love sitting outside, but at a certain point each year I’m driven indoors because of the pesky blood suckers.  I might have to try this homemade mosquito repellent,

Here’s what you’ll need: essential oils (citronella and lemongrass are musts, I also like lavender or you could use tea tree oil or geranium oil for tick protection), 14 oz. bottle of witch hazel (available in grocery stores & pharmacies usually close to the rubbing alcohol), a spray bottle (or two–one for home and one for the diaper bag/car), a jar for mixing, and a funnel.
