NATURAL RECIPE FOR INSECT REPELLENT

The *recipe for insect repellent is:

4 drops each of Thyme, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils 
plus
8 drops of Lemongrass oil.

Mix into about 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. (I use grapeseed as it's fairly light.) Adjust the amount of oil to suit your sense of smell and according to effectiveness (If you dilute too much it won't work). You may have to put it on more frequently than chemical mixtures.

Does it really work? My brother is an ardent fly fisherman and won't go into the bush without it.
