    Mosquito control is an important question faced by many people and nowadays there is a huge call for natural control methods since many people are aware of the draw backs of chemical pesticides. There are many diseases which are recognized to be spread by mosquitoes. Therefore a lack of effective mosquito control could be deadly.

    As citronella oil that is a very good mosquito repellent is a little expensive oil to use on daily basis. Plus being a liquid oil it is difficult to carry it in your bag for outdoors, camping, picnic etc.
    I use Godrej Protekt anti mosquito spray on skin that repels mosquitoes for as long as 8 long hours. It is water-based and safe for skin. It does not have any odor and will keep you safe from mosquitoes.
