The next time you plan a picnic in the park, remember to bring one more thing: a bar of rosemary, citronella or lemongrass soap. All of these essential oils are natural mosquito repellants and can help keep the pesky creatures away from your outdoor bash. You can even rub a little of the soap on your skin as a natural repellant as well.

One tip is to keep them in areas that are accessible and easy to water: in a bathroom or kitchen are good places.
