Hang strips of brightly colored cloth ribbons in your windows or doorways; I use thumbtacks. Invest in a variety of insect repellant essential oils. Regularly saturate each ribbon with drops of oil. The breeze in the openings will spread the scent both in and outside.

CITRONELLA (Cymbopagon nardus)
