Rather than using chemical sprays on your skin to prevent mosquito bites or lighting up expensive citronella candles, use this mix to ward off the insects. Mix two tablespoons of garlic powder and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle and use it to spritz your outdoor light before turning it on. As the bulbs heat up, it will disperse a garlicky scent across your entire deck. Mosquitoes hate the scent of garlic, so they will surely stay away.
