If you’ve ever used Vicks VapoRub, you’ll know that it has a notoriously strong smell.
What you may not know is that it contains cedarleaf oil, which is a natural insect repellent.
To use Vicks as a mosquito repellent, rub a little on your skin. You needn’t cover your entire body in it, just apply small dabs on your ankles, wrists, neck, inner elbows, knees, and behind your ears.
The strong smell of menthol will repel mosquitoes and other pests.
