For my body I've been using the Avon Bug guard stuff, the smell isn't awful like the natural citronella sprays available and it works. However, right outside my front door there have been swarms of mosquitos. The local nurseries don't have any of the plants that are supposed to ward the bugs off (citronella, catnip, something else I can't remember) so out of desperation I bought a spray of Cutter, Deet full and sprayed it all over the front door and mailbox.
Its working- no more swarm, and I know a house can't get cancer but am still wary of its affect on the environment. Anyone have suggestions? I try to avoid fire during the summer so candles and whatnot are out. Deet-free and effective are the goals.
