Mosquitoes got a shock from such a tasty remedy. I am delighted! I love evening walks in the woods, but bloodsuckers spoil all the charm. I knew about vanilla for a long time, I decided to try it. I spread 2 sachets in a glass of water, poured into a bottle with a sprayer. Processed skin, clothes, hair. I went for a walk in shorts and a T-shirt. What was there! Mosquitoes swarm around me, squeak, do not sit on my skin. I have already specially set myself up for them. One dared, sat on a finger, but did not bite. And flew away with nothing. Enough protection for 3 hours. Then instantly home.

    I tried vanillin when my daughter was a little up to a year old. Mosquitoes that summer were darkness. Sprayed clothes, strollers, pens, legs. I took empty bags with me, letting the child play. It works better than Off-line mosquito repellent cream for children, verified.

    I don’t understand what is the point in interfering with vodka or alcohol. Helps the same. Protection lasts a maximum of 3 hours.

    Once in the village my grandmother didn’t let mosquitoes walk in the evenings in the evenings. Instead of perfume they sprayed, pounded every evening. It helps.

    I tried with cream. I can’t say that mosquitoes are very scared. They sit on the skin, but do not bite.
