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.Helpful Reply -

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 hazel1/8 c apple cider vinegar12 oz water40 drops citronella oil10 drops lemongrass10 drops rosemaryThis works well for me.Helpful Reply -

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.Helpful Reply -
