• Why is little on the web written on which soap and body lotion fragrances are stronger mosquito attractants? They write about what repels. But many lotions include oils that attract, along with oils that repel.
• For example the peppermint shampoo conditioner might have sweet fragrances that mosquitoes like. After reading the other articles on this Solano mosquito blog, can anyone find specific lotion ingredients that are stronger mosquito attractants? Make sure it’s supported by a study, and it’s not just some garlic tale (garlic might even attract mosquitoes).
• As some have suggested without evidence that the following might repel mosquitoes, perhaps it’s OK if they happen to be an additional ingredient in body products and body lotions: Verbena, Pennyroyal, Lavender, Pine, Cajeput, Basil, Thyme, Allspice.
• While we know certain foods like bananas that are potassium laden, attract mosquitoes, we know little about what we put on our skin and hair. The tests should be relatively easy to conduct in a Solano lab or elsewhere.
• If you or your friends can find anything on google, please share with us..!
