You can buy repellent online, in any superstore or outdoors store. Usually, repellent is found in the outdoors or gardening aisles. 

Choosing which repellent to use is a personal choice, as long as you choose 1 of the 4 CDC-recommended active ingredients:

Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (also known as PMD)

Picaridin

DEET

IR3535

The active ingredients will be printed on the front of any repellent bottle, along with a percentage, which is a range of how long protection will last -- like sunscreen. 

Our research shows that mosquitoes and other pests love cool, shady plants that they can rest in. You can help someone landscape mosquitoes out of the yard by gifting California Native Plants.
