[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 690161, member: 17461"] What an interesting thing, about the neem and catnip oils, susiestar. Do you know whether say, lavendar essential oil would repel woodticks or mosquitoes? I don't know which is worse, mosquito bites or smelling terrible. Woodtick season is almost over, here. I wonder whether an unlit citronella candle would help, KTMom? It must be that mosquitoes dislike the scent of citrus. Cats don't like that scent, either. If we want to keep cats away from our gardens, orange peel seems to work. And eggshells for slugs, which is off topic. Sorry, you guys. This makes sense, IC. There was a time I would drink a tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar in water with dinner. (I did this for my stomach.) I will begin doing that again. I served it in a wine glass. We eat garlic pretty frequently already (Italian D H). I will keep that garlic idea in mind. A friend who lives near me now told me we should not wear perfume because it draws ticks. (Love this living in the woods, you guys.) I wonder whether the same is true for mosquitoes? In the sense that they may be attracted to the scents in our soaps or shampoos or fragrance? It makes sense that this would be so. Thank you for this thread, Nomad. Cedar [/QUOTE]
