Lavender Oil
Lavender essential oil is very fragrant and mosquitoes do not like the smell so they will avoid it at all costs. Another benefit to keeping this oil around is that not only does it repel mosquitoes, but it can also soothe mosquito bites if they do occur.Certain natural substances can actually completely destroy and repel bed bug infestations. Typically used in aromatherapy, lavender oil is one such repellent. To keep the bedbugs away, use lavender, which many people like the smell of. The easiest way is to put a little lavender oil into a spray bottle with water.
