Hi Bill, I'm going crazy too. Actually, suicidal might be the more

appropriate term. I saw an environmental recipe at ESP that looks

promising. I only know one person on this forum who's tried it though,

so not sure about efficacy. Here's the link:

Scroll down about halfway and there are instructions on using the

repellent spray. Looks like you make your own base of borax and baking

powder, then add Trisha's essential oils.

I found a cheap source of menthol crystals at Ebay:

This particular vendor has the best shipping rates so it winds up

being the cheapest source at Ebay.
