Would like recommendations for natural mosquito/tick repellant for toddler...

[Guest guest]

I've been informed by my daughter's preschool (which is a nature based

pre-school) that they will be going out on the nature trails and by the

horses and so forth and that they have encountered some ticks already.

 

Now my daughter is only 15 months old, so she'll be riding in a buggy

and not wandering on the trails, but I still want to make sure she is

protected.

 

Can someone recommend a natural mosquito/tick repellant I could buy to

leave at the daycare please? If it has a natural sunscreen in it too,

that's even better.

 

Thanks!

The best is to go to a health food store and see what formulas they have. Read

ingredients carefully.

Citronella is one of the herbs to repel mosquitoes, but not the only one.

The B vitamins will repel insects however i think they need to be taken in

advance for several weeks. There is one specific B vitamin that does the job

but cant remember. A little research could give the answer. May have been B6.

I would also need to check with a pediatric physician if one should give a 15

month old anything.

Hello Paula,

 

I learned about a patch that works as a natural mosquito repellant -

I purchased the product last year at a time I needed most - during a

bootcamp class I was in - The product worked great for me -

no mosquito bites.

 

Here is a link to their website.

Have you heard of spraying Listerine around the area where you are

or around the doors, windows, etc?

 

I just received a message regarding this and was wondering whether

it works or not. Doesn't cost much to try, though.

Citronella essential oil added to a carrier oil and applied to the

skin is good as an insect repellent.

As one of those people the skeeters view as a feast on legs, the only

thing I've found that works is vitamin B6. I've tried DEET, citronella,

clove oil, citrus oil, any damn thing that would keep them away! Not

only do they love me, I get large welts everywhere they bite me. Mowing

the lawn was a nightmare! Since someone here mentioned trying B6 a

couple weeks ago I've been taking it. Today I worked outside all day

and NOT ONE SINGLE BITE! Thanks whoever that was!

I've always had good luck with both brewers yeast and garlic. Taking

caps of brewers yeast before a camping or hiking trip will keep the

mosquitos away. Great to give your dogs to keep fleas away too.

Vitamin B complex also is a good deterrent for mosquitoes.
