Natural insect repellant revisited

Presently, I am using Eucalyptus Oil diluted in water to keep the

bugs away. This does pretty good, but does not repel the ticks.

Someone else told me that peppermint oil and cinnamon oil would keep

the ticks away. But is that Cinnamon leaf oil or Cinnamon Bark oil?

For good measure, I might buy some Citronella Oil too and put in the

mix. So the mixture would be several drops of the following mixed in

a pint of water:

 

Citronella Oil

 

Cinnamon Leaf Oil (or should it be Cinnamon bark)

 

Peppermint Oil

 

Eucalyptus Oil

 

I have also heard of using Rose Geranium (but that might attract

bees). Lavendar Oil (but this has been linked to gynomastecia in

boys). And also catnip Oil.

 

Someone in this forum emailed me a good combination of oils to use

together, but I cleaned out my inbox and lost the recipe. What would

be the best combination of oils in your opinion to repel ticks,

chiggers and mesquitos (as well as a wide spectrum of other

insects)? I am getting ready to place an order on-line.

Lemon Oil in water, sprayed in air is good.

Also Lavender Oil repels all insects.
