airann 1 #1 June 17, 2003 I spend nearly all of my time outside and I recently have become outrageously bothered by mosquitoes. The bites then leave small bruises. You can barely see them under my tan, but still. These symptoms seem to indicate I am allergic to the little bastards. So- I search for the adequate remedy for me to brew up and slather on that doesnt smell like Krrappp! WTF? ...CATNIP OIL... Quote"""It's primarily known for its stimulating effect on cats,""" """the Iowa State University study that proved Catnip oil was 10 times more effective than DEET at repelling mosquitoes""" """Why catnip repels mosquitoes remains a mystery. "It might simply be an irritant," said Peterson, "or they just don't like the smell.""" http://www.mosquitosolutions.com/catnip.html I dont think this is going to work out too good. I keep getting a few visuals on what would happen with the 3 cats that hang out around here. It says you can use it on your dogs. I have a color visual on that one. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
