A study published in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association found that lemon eucalyptus essential oil was effective at repelling mosquitoes for up to 6 hours. Another study published in the Journal of Insect Science found that lemon eucalyptus essential oil was effective at repelling ticks for up to 4 hours.
To use lemon eucalyptus essential oil as an insect repellent, you can diffuse it in your home or yard, add it to a carrier oil and apply it to your skin, or use it in a homemade insect repellent spray.
It is important to note that lemon eucalyptus essential oil is not as effective as DEET, which is the most common insect repellent. However, it is a natural option that is safe for most people to use.
