Home made personal insect repellant?!
Question:
Home made personal insect repellant?
The mosquitoes are horrible here... is there some kind of recipe for something I can safely use on children? One that REALLY works? Things like OFF, Avon skin so soft, even my favorite Burt's Bees stuff are just not working well enough.
Answers:
Believe it or not, using fabric softener sheets works great as a mosquito repellent. Just take a fresh sheet, and gently rub it across any exposed areas of skin (arms, legs, neck, and face if they're extremely aggressive) and the chemically-based scent of the sheet will keep the bugs off of your kids.
I've been using this method for years, and it's never failed me yet.
