Mosquitoes do not like the citrus in oranges and lemons; these fruits are a natural deterrent to these pests. So next time you go outside, eat an orange and then rub the peel on your skin. You can also collect the orange peels and spread them on the ground around your outdoor seating area. It is also suggested that orange peels repel ants, so wherever you have an ant problem, make a pile of orange peels. Lemon peels have the same repelling effect on mosquitoes and gnats so, the next time you are sitting outside enjoying a glass of lemonade, slice a fresh lemon, squeeze it into your glass and then rub the peel on your skin. Natural, safe and you will smell lemony fresh!
