How do I use no way in for bugs in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Patchouli 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 citronella?

Swap citronella for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use no way in for bugs?

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

No way in for bugs · Citronella, Eucalyptus, Patchouli blend

A neat six drops: citronella leads bold and grassy, eucalyptus cools things down, and patchouli, just one drop, helps the scent stick around longer. Good for door gaps, the entryway and bedroom windows, all the places mosquitoes sneak through when night falls. Put the diffuser right by the window and start it before you switch on the lights; for a warmer tail, raise patchouli to 2 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
