Help!

Does anybody know a good insect repellent from essential oils? I have a bunch of different oils and mixes, but getting bitten every evening while I try and find out by trial and error doesn't make me too happy...

Thanks in advance :)

I've heard that tea tree oil works, but I haven't really done much in the way of field tests.

Ah, thanks, I'll try that!

A friend suggested clove. Gonna try that as well :)

We live in the "woods" now and every single biter comes straight for me (from the three of us).

Yeah, I'm the sweetest. For the insects~

Yes get one of those atomizer bottles, fill it with water, add about ten drops tea tree for each 2-3 oz water and spray liberally. I've used this on my ankles when we had a flea infestation and it worked great. :)

Yay! Because tea tree sounds much better that clove to me :D
