How About Herbs, cont'd. 



One part garlic juice to 5 parts water 

 is said to work well on children with 

 chemical allergies. 



Other essential oils have repelling 

 properties, such a geranium, rosemary 

 and lavender oils. You really don't 

 need to be stinky to repel insects. You 

 just need to be wearing a scent that 

 they're not crazy about and that masks 

 your own scent. 



When it comes to staying power, 

 the botanicals aren't a great choice. 

 If you're wise though, and plant the 

 repelling herbs here and there in your 

 garden, you needn't go far. Its pretty 

 easy to grab a leaf and rub some on 

 your neck and ankles, maybe chew a 

 little basil to mask the C02 and voila. 



a pretty handy 

 repellant, and it 

 can be re-applied 

 as soon as you hear 

 that nasty buzz... 

 again. Hopefully 

 those pesky 

 mosquitoes will be 

 foiled and we can 

 all get our gardens 

 in without being the 

 next blood meal.
