Hi everyone,
I remember not that long ago seeing a post about a bug repellant made from natural ingredients and after searching I can't find it.
If someone could point me in the right direction on either the product or the post I would be grateful, I think it was a cream rather than a spray.
Regards

"Desert Dweller" is a natural FLY repellant made by an
Alice springs company, but does nothing for mossies. Greatest stuff I have tried for flies. Beware of Rosemary allergies.
Google it if interested for contact details.

Peter,
That stuff would have been Natures Botanical "Cedarwood & Rosemary", in natural oils. Best stuff ever for flies, but use sparingly, or apply over UV cream.
Another good stuff for both flies and mozzies is "OFF" Skintastic. Being a chemical, it can burn a bit around the face, after extended use.
Bob.

I use a 'Jane' and don't ever get bothered my mozzies..
Whenever the missus (Jane) is about the mozzies are on her. She's like a mozzie magnet. LOL.

For Mozzies I use the Avon "Skin so Soft" Bath oil. Just spread a little onto your skin directly. Nature's midget vampires hate the stuff.

My missus is a bit of a mozzie magnet too. Will check out the Avon gear.
