Mosquito Repellent

Mosquito repellent? What do you use?

• Make your own! Equal parts of baby oil metho and detol! It’s called F off in our family! Lol.    Sarah

•  Mouthwash… We used listerine mouthwash while in the Malaysian jungle with my then 7 month old plus hubby & I for over 2 weeks & not 1 bite. Works with flies & sand flies too.. Feels refreshing too.   Lynda

•  I never used to care about insect repellents. Used it regularly. Until a can was accidentally left on a table and the residue on the base of the can disolved the varnish in 5 mins….. Now looking for alternatives. Be careful… Im horrified at what happened but Im no means a hippie with this stuff.   Dawn

•  Off pump spray. No fumes smell nice. Works well on mozzie n sandfly.    Carla

•  Bushmans.   Kristy_Lee

•  A lavendar insect repellant from the lavendar farm emu bay kangaroo island. Great to spray the room at night to keep them away.    Kimberlee

•  DEET free http://www.iherb.com/Badger-Company-Anti-Bug-Balm-1…/18389.   Cassie

•  You can get insect repellant patches from Toys R Us – good for babies! Apparently for babies something that is DEET free is good.    Kat

•  Nature’s botanical rosemary and cedarwood.    Nicky

•  Nothing with deet in it. That’s cancerous.    Diana

•  My gypsy child.   Jayde

•  Thursday plantation is the best one! It’s all natural & smells great (I’ve been asked what perfume I’m wearing). I’ve used it for years & it’s even good for topical application on the bite if you forget to apply it. Also comes in a roll-on & lasts forever.    http://www.thursdayplantation.com/…/Tea-Tree-Walkabout… www.thursdayplantation.com Provides protection against biting insects and flies in a soothing and cooling base.    Lisa

•  Citronella oil. Dab it on the back of the neck, crease inside elbows & soles of the feet.   Taniele

•  I’m allergic to most repellents so I make my own. A bottle of suncream (or sorboline cream depending on time of year) a small bottle of tea tree oil, a few drops of white musk body oil (body shop) use any perfume oil – it’s just so you smell nice lol.    Melisssa

•  Off. It comes in spray, pump, cream, balm, roll on, and it smells great and it’s not greasy, not over powering, and great for asthmatics and reasonably priced. Winner!    Erin
