Pine nut oil enriched with pine resin: a natural repellent
There are various ways to control mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects, one of them is the use of repellents – means of repelling insects by means of odor[1]. They mask human odor and as a result, blood-sucking insects try to stay farther away from places with the repellent odor in the air.
As a rule, repellents from the mass market have essential oils in their composition, but still 90% consist of chemicals (diethyltoluamide, remebid, carboxyl, allethrin). Such products, getting on the skin or mucous membranes, lead to irritation and even allergies.
Pine nut oil enriched with pine resin is an effective and harmless repellent. Rubbing the oil into the skin usually gets rid of mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, and other blood-sucking insects for 10-15 hours. It has a pleasant aroma for humans, but repels pesky insects.
