I recently heard a caller give her recipe for mosquito repellant using orange oil and vanilla. I can't remember how much of each to use. Could someone help me?

:D

I don't know about that one. However I rub a little liquid dishwashing soap or canola oil on my exposed skin outside in the garden or at the compost piles, and no bug whatsoever bites me anymore.

Most recently a caller said she uses 2 t. vanilla and 2 t. citrus oil in 32 oz. water (more diluted than previous 8 oz. recipe).
