A powerful pest repellent, Citronella essential oil helps keep creepy crawlers out of the house and off your skin and clothing, masking the human fragrances that insects find appealing.

Chemical components in Citronella essential oil include citronellal and geraniol, which are good for cleaning surfaces in and outside the home. When diffused, Citronella oil promotes a happy, positive aroma. When applied topically, it can be soothing to the skin and scalp.
