Citronella, Patchouli, Lemongrass and Peppermint are all oils I would consider when insects are a problem.

Jasmine is a precious oil and you don’t need much of it. I would use around 1 drop of Jasmine in a 5-drop diffuser blend.

All of these oils have strong aromas, so rather than giving one fixed recipe, I would start with 1 drop of each oil you want to combine and then adjust the blend one drop at a time until you find an aroma that appeals to you.

The important thing is not simply choosing oils because insects dislike them. You still have to enjoy the aroma you’re creating in your home.
