Cats love catnip. Mosquitoes? Not so much. According to Science Daily, catnip repels mosquitoes more effectively than DEET. Grow it in your garden or apply undiluted catnip oil to the skin for up to two hours of protection.

Now this I can use. I'll have to see if capnip will grow at 7200' in the Sierras, and if so plant it all around my meadow.

I used to live in Santa Fe. Catnip grows great there. Around 7200’.
