[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1839350, member: 345386"] In the tropics, we use a simple concoction of citronella oil, a little tea trea oil (in case of any existing bites), a little E45 lotion, plus water, in a pump spray bottle. Costs next to nothing. No nasty chemicals, although we sometimes use some polysorbate 20/60 or 80 as an emulsifier, although giving the bottle a good shake before spraying works well too. There is no way I want to apply insecticide near my face. [/QUOTE]
