I am going to try that Deborah. The mosquitoes are coming out in swarms over here. After 7 PM, I have to spray myself to put the dog out, or they will bite me all over. LOL.

I am with Deborah on this one, Skin So Soft from avon has been the only thing that has helped me. I can go without it and the bugs seem to attack me as soon as I go outside. It can be greasy but I put some on a cotton ball and lightly rub it on me. Smell is great also.

I pinned dryer sheets under the hoop of my civil war gown, it helps alot, a few are still brave but alot are detoured. Trust me, that thing is a heat tent!

Deborah,
Thanks for sharing! No pesticides and sounds like it wouldn't be stinky either.

Thanks for the idea Deborah - I hate the smell of Citronella
I could definitely live with that combo
