Bergamot is also called "Bee Balm" and "Oswego Tea". It might be listed
under one of those.
I don't know about it being a mosquito repellant. My favorite repellant
is pennyroyal oil--I've never been bothered by mosquitos when I put some
on, even during the worst times for mosquitos, though I smell like a mint
julep from a mile away.
It might be easier to make a cream or oil base with the essential oils in
it, rather than making a spritz to spray on evenly.
