I have sweet basil plants around the yard and if we are out when the

skitters come out we grab a couple leaves off the plant and crush/rub

in our hands and then onto open skin areas. The mosquitoes leave us

alone. I haven't tried the basil oil in some type of base to dilute

but have thought about it.

 

Good luck, Dianne
