Default Re: Good bug sprays?

Last year we ran out and so I was using some organic insecticide with cinnamon, rosemary, nd some other essential oils.

Then I decided to try curry powder.
Had to quit when wifey threatened to divorce me LOL.
It did.work ok for bugs though.

Later we found some deet free stuff that smelled awesome but wore.off in 3 hours.
Added 5% deet from a bottle of pure stuff and it works great and actually smells like a nice perfume or something.


the active ingredient in that sweet one was gerinol or something similar.


The smell.of regular bug spray is horrific to my nose and things like OFF make my skin flush to candy apple red and burn like a turpentine enema.
