Kelly,

Jan, my mentor, hiked the AT last year and learned that catnip oil was 
effective in repelling mosquitos. In her journal, I read that she did a test... She 
put catnip oil on one arm, and nothing on the other.  The arm with the catnip 
oil got NO bites.  The other was covered with them.  

Here's some info:

Recent studies have found Cat Nip Oil to be a very effective insect repellent 
when used as a spray on the skin. This Extra Strength Insect Repellent is a 
superb topical Mosquito Repellent that stays on the skin and has 4 times the 
100% Pure Catnip Oil combined with 100% Pure Citronella Oil to keep the 
mosquitos away.

Additionally, there is an article about it in a San Diego paper.  The link 
is:

I like the fact that it's all natural. I have an organic garden, don't use 
pesticides, all that rot. So, this really appeals to me.  

Anyway, good luck!
