5. Vinegar
Vinegar is one of the cheapest ingredients that most of us already have on hand. And besides its amazing properties to help you clean your house, it is also a great repellent. It makes no difference which option you choose: apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar, both of which are efficient against mosquitoes.
For a mixture, you need about 3 cups of water and 1 cup of vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on your skin. You don’t need to worry about the smell because it will go away so quickly that you won’t even notice it. The mixture can also be used around the house, especially around the dining table if you’re planning to stay a little longer in your backyard.
