Rub on some of the C.medica that you have grown! That should work
because anything that smells different to the mozzies usual target
repels them.

Exactly. Lavender (as Helene says) is also a good one. Try to position

I could try lavender because I've got some of those Tisserand roller cap
bottles (wonderful for headaches and refreshment in this weather) I'll
remember to pack those!
