Cinnamon Oil Better for Killing Mosquitoes Than DEET

DEET, the active chemical in most mosquito repellants, is a deadly and potent neurotoxin and should not be used. Cinnamon oil appears very promising, is inexpensive and even smells great. Other common essential oils, such as catnip, have shown similar promise in fighting off mosquitoes as well.

The pesticides that are being used to fight the West Nile Virus are surely going to contribute to a number of diseases, so it's promising to see that researchers are looking into other safe and natural pesticides.
