"I purchased this particular oil to try to combat mosquitoes when I am enjoying my evening on my back patio. So far, so good! I sprinkled some around my patio swing and along the border of the patio and it keeps mosquitoes at bay! I also ran some in my diffuser outside one evening when I had company and it also helped keep them away!"
