    I've always used either Avon Skin So Soft or Off Deep Woods. Just make sure to shower and wash your hands good as soon as you come in the house.

    I can't use Deep Woods Off... in fact, I used it to remove the paint off my interior ledge as a demonstration to what that stuff can do to paint if left on it. However, the essential oil you need is Citronella. I use:
    1/2 c witch hazel
    1/8 c apple cider vinegar
    12 oz water
    40 drops citronella oil
    10 drops lemongrass
    10 drops rosemary

    This works well for me.

    I am told,, that dryer sheets are good repellents. I fasten one to my dogs collars when we go walking in parks. Seems to work. Pin one to his pocket.
