White vinegar applied to the skin, bugs hate the way you will taste. Planting catnip works well for keeping mosquitoes away since they hate the smell. Planting mint also works just not as well. The only drawback to planting catnip is that most cats like it. A spray bottle of water will get rid of them easily. LOL

Tikki torches citron candles. Lemongrass or any pots of most herbs repel insects. We keep a couple of tikki lamps going especially aound the grill. A citron candle and Herbs around the deck. Tikki torches are about 4 bucks.Citronella is about seven bucks and lasts a long time. Herbs enhance your life all around. Oregano, basil. cilantro and lemon grass.
I live in Jersey and boy can't wait to be able to stoke up the barbie. I have geraniums in the house we bring in and I smell the leaves for spring therapy all winter long...and now they are flowering.

Garlic further to the horse's feed ( no longer too plenty because it might want to reason anaemia) devour garlic your self - be unpopular with flies and pals ! mix of citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree oil and water - placed it in a twig bottle ( shake until eventually finally now spraying) upload a contact dish cleansing cleansing soap to the blend and also you'll no longer might want to shake it. change a service oil ( almond,grapeseed etc) for the water and also you could make a topical lotion for sweet itch victims sprig of elder or rosemary tucked contained in the browband. With the oils you would possibly want to patch attempt first in case of an allergic reraction.
