Mosquito repellant II


In the thread a while back I mentioned that I was going to try the all natural repellant, Repel Lemon Eucalyptus. Well, it came last week & I've given it a trial. Works just as well as the ones with Deet; if you miss a tiny spot when applying it the mosquitoes zero in on it (UGH!). It doesn't smell either like lemon or eucalyptus; sort of a funny smell, hard to describe but not unpleasant. This will be my repellant of choice from now on, have always hated using the ones with Deet, don't want that harsh chemical on my skin!

Re: Mosquito repellant II


When I go abroad on holiday I always use mossie spray or roll-on..........and I still get nasty bites from the little b*****s.....

My hubby never uses any repellant...and he never gets bitten!
How unfair is that!!
