Default Re: Good bug sprays?

Geraniol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Used in perfume LOL

but, I'd like to reiterate, 5-10% deet will make it much more long lasting

Why go to the trouble of mixing my own ?
Regular sprays smell so offensive that I'd been cutting pure deet with alcohol for years.
Adding pleasant smelling essential oils was better, a repellent essential oils was icing on the cake.
Pure deet has a very light odor.

Call me Captain Obvious but anything that burns like hellfire should be used in moderation AKA lowest effective dose.

Eugenol and limolene are other nice smells and probably have repellent characteristics.
