At present there's a bit of a problem with mosquitos where I live. Not wanting to use copious amounts of mosquito spray to try and drive them away I turned to a much less used natural mosquito repellent called "citronella oil". (It's available in the supermarkets.) I don't think it'm much of a mosquito repellent. It has an extremely strong smell which seems to be more adept at repelling humans than the mosies.
However, by sheer chance, I noticed that it was a VERY effective ANT repellent. Just a single drop near a line of ants was enough to cause an immediate response. They just ran away from oil. The ant's just gave the general area a wide birth after that. (upto a radius of about 5cm from the drop) So a few strategically placed drops and line of oil spread with your finger can work wonders when it comes to repelling ants. What's more, I don't think it harm them. So if you're worried about killing the ants then .. well .. there's no need to worry.
Hope you find this useful...
