Hello, Florida! Time to Piss in Bill Gates' Wheaties!
There are seven specific smells that mosquitoes have been documented to hate strongly enough that researchers at the CDC, the USDA, and at least three major American university entomology departments have published peer-reviewed papers on them. The compounds are sold legally at every drugstore, health food store, and grocery store in the country for less than ten dollars total. And three of them, mixed at the right proportions, produce a homemade liquid measured in lab testing to outperform the standard chemical repellent the U.S. Army developed in 1946 — the foundation of the entire American repellent industry ever since.
Mosquitoes kill more people every year than every other animal on Earth combined — roughly 700,000 deaths a year worldwide, most from malaria — and the U.S. disease burden from West Nile, Eastern equine encephalitis, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika has been climbing for two decades.
In this video we walk through all seven smells in the order human civilizations first documented them: citronella, noted by Pliny the Elder around 70 AD; lemon eucalyptus oil (OLE), used by Aboriginal Australians for thousands of years and now one of only two plant-based repellents the CDC recommends; lavender; peppermint; geraniol; catnip oil, which an Iowa State team led by Joel Coats found roughly ten times more effective than DEET at equivalent concentrations in 2001; and garlic, whose active compound allicin blinds mosquitoes to the carbon dioxide and body heat they use to find you..
Then the build: a three-ingredient liquid you can mix at home for about three dollars a bottle, versus twelve to twenty-four dollars for commercial OLE products. Half an ounce of oil of lemon eucalyptus, three ounces of witch hazel as the carrier, and a teaspoon of glycerin to condition the skin and stretch the six-to-eight-hour protection window.
Full mixing protocol, shelf life, and application notes are in the video.
We also cover why most Americans have never heard this — DEET marketed as the only serious option for seventy years, the CDC quietly adding OLE to its recommended list in 2005 with almost no brand advertising behind it, and the catnip research that was never commercialized because nepetalactone can't be patented.
