mosquitoes see themselves out

5 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Minty · Resinous & sweet · code BL-2568


Tea tree makes up most of the blend, so the top is green, sharp and clean; eucalyptus, peppermint and lemon eucalyptus team up for a crisp, icy wave, and myrrh holds a warm, deep tail. A big-batch recipe, great for mixing one bottle to last the season. Each time, take 5 drops for the living room diffuser at dusk; skip rooms with young children, since peppermint and eucalyptus are quite strong.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use mosquitoes see themselves out in a diffuser?
Add Tea Tree 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Peppermint 2 · Lemon Eucalyptus 2 · Myrrh 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of tea tree?
Swap tea tree for rosemary or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use mosquitoes see themselves out?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
