How do I use no-mosquito zone in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Tea Tree 1 · Citronella 1 · Eucalyptus 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use no-mosquito zone?

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.

No-mosquito zone · Peppermint, Lemongrass, Tea Tree blend

Peppermint and lemongrass split the top evenly, cool tingle meeting fresh tang, popping as soon as the diffuser starts. Tea tree, citronella and eucalyptus follow with three notes: sharp green, bold grass and cool leaf. Good for large living rooms, entry halls and covered porches. Mix a bottle ahead and take 6 drops each time; for bedrooms, use 3 drops and less peppermint if it keeps you up.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
