Citronella oil is popular as a 'natural' insect repellent. Its mosquito repellent qualities have been verified by research, including effectiveness in repelling Aedes aegypti (dengue fever mosquito).To be continually effective most citronella repellent formulas need to be reapplied to the skin every 30â??60 minutes.
Research also indicates that citronella oil is an effective repellent for body louse, head louse and stable flies. A study conducted by ARPA in 1963 determined that hydroxycitronellal was an effective repellent against both aquatic and terrestrial leeches.
