Not only does my skin seem to attract them more than I see with other people, but I also react very badly\u00a0to\u00a0bites\u00a0(itch, redness, pain, etc.). Can you relate?

Puressentiel Product Line, $12.99 in pharmacies<\/h3>\n<p>I like that the products\u00a0found in this French brand\u00a0are based in essential oils. I use their calming\u00a0spray before going to bed, and I also like their products\u00a0for aches and pains.\u00a0 I was curious to test their mosquito-repellent range. My verdict? I love the idea of using natural products to keep the mosquitoes away. They are not only less harmful to our health,\u00a0but they\u00a0also smell much better than other products on the market. I liked the small soothing applicator that is applied after bites. This allowed me to\u00a0get the pain and swelling\u00a0down in seconds!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTWbsY3AfiR\/?utm_source=ig_embed\" data-instgrm-version=\"9\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 33.375% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTWbsY3AfiR\/?utm_source=ig_embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A post shared by NuTone (@nutonehome)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2017-04-26T13:38:01+00:00\">Apr 26, 2017 at 6:38am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-the-nutone-haven-mosquito-repellent-system-299-at-lowes\">2.

NuTone is an electrical system that works with pegs that are planted in the earth and\u00a0emanate an odorless, invisible repellent.\u00a0 It is a revolutionary system that changed my life!\u00a0 Note that the installation requires a little bit of time (and attention) but it is very easy to use and will work for a few seasons.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-natural-plants\">3. Natural Plants<\/h3>\n<p>I was advised to get plants that keep mosquitoes away in my backyard. The idea may sound good, I must say that it is not extremely effective. Lavender and citronella are known to ward off mosquitoes, however, mint supposedly attracts them. My suggestion: put some\u00a0of these potted plants\u00a0on the table where you eat in order to maximize the repellent effect!<\/p>\n<p>What are your tricks to keep mosquitoes away?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">I have always been very sensitive to mosquito bites.
