Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 The problem here (in India) is that none of these oils are available commercially. A reference to alternatives items like vegetables, etc that are available, would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Basil, garlic, marigolds to keep insects away, oh and Listerine mouthwash. If you use it in a spray bottle is supposed to keep mosquitoes away. --- On Sat, 7/12/08, Steve clarke <stevat2002 wrote: Steve clarke <stevat2002 Problems - Natural insect repellant revisited Saturday, July 12, 2008, 2:42 AM The problem here (in India) is that none of these oils are available commercially.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have heared as well as experienced that mosquitoes don't venture near about the soapnut tree. People who go into the jungle especially at night apply water soaked in soapnut to the exposed parts of their bodies in order to avoid pestering by the insects. According to Wikipedia, 'soap nuts have gentle insecticidal properties and are traditionally used for removing lice from the scalp'. Bring your gang together. Do your thing.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Dear Steve; Stop ! India is the world's spice captial so what do you mean you cannot find these herbs in India ? in any case; if you eat Cayenne Pepper dishes this should help; as I said; go to a pharmacy in Inida and ask pharmacist : THIAMINE VITMAIN B1 TABLETS Then buy what he gives you; take one tab a day for 7 days; BUG BE GONE bugs cannot stand Thiamne Vit. B1; you could do a B-complex if no B1;A FOODS HIGH IN THIAMINE VIT. B1 WHOLE RICE BRAN; NUTRITIONAL YEAST (Health food store); CITRUS FRUIT WHEAT GERM AVOCADOES; any BERRIES any FRUTIS any VEGGIES any GRAINS; A. Add Vitamin c to the Vit.
