   • Citrus Juice. Mosquitoes dislike the smell of citrus juice—it’s simply too strong, and in fact, many cats dislike it too. You can use citrus as an easy mosquito repellent.
   • Catnip. Many cats are naturally attracted to catnip, but mosquitos do not like the smell of catnip at all. In fact, there are some theories that a cat’s attraction to catnip evolved because it keeps away bugs.
   • Yarrow. Yarrow flowers seem to be just as effective as catnip, and you can use them in a similar manner. Either rub the flowers directly onto your cat, keep yarrow plants close by so that your cat rubs up against them, or create a homemade spray.
   • Lemon Eucalyptus. Studies have shown that lemon eucalyptus oil can be effective in repelling mosquitoes. Specifically, studies found that lemon eucalyptus oil provides two hours of protection, which is just a bit more than DEET.
