I have an area of my plot that gets loads of mozzies or similar under the trees at the back. It wouldn't really be a problem if this wasn't the area where dd spends most of her time.

I was thinking that maybe I could hang something from the trees which is impregnated with citronella but all I seem to be able to find is candles, which I don't want to use with a 3 year old running around!

Does anyone know of anything like this or what I could put citronella oil onto that would be fairly weatherproof?

can't you put citronella on your daughter in the form of Avon Skin so Soft spray oil which is still available as I bought some the other day. You put it round your wrists and ankles and behind your ears etc. Most sun lotion these days also contains some insect repellant. The Avon one is in the blue bottle (apt )

Good idea Wards! Great exuse for an Avon order


Only one problem, I can't find it on the Avon website

Avonshop.co.uk

When you arrive on their site you can search. I typed in insect repellant and it came up with Skin so Soft in the blue bottle. Voile

blue bottle

took me a minute

I have Avonshop in my bookmarks and I did search SSS but didn't find the blue one. Will try insect repellant, thanks Wards

Found it. I was looking for moisturiser not dry oil spray. Doh!

Well done I tend to get bitten round wrists, ankles and legs or on the face. Bear in mind it's oil so watch yourself in the sun and don't lather yourself in it, a little goes a long way
