Subj: Re: [ ] tick repellant nontoxic

just get orange eos at a Indian grocery store and mix with witch hazel you

may want to put a little rubbing alcohol in too for emulsifying , also

Lady

Barbara uses rose geranium eos as a spray , I use both on my dogs , you

may be able to get a dog mesh outfit from Cabalas I think that is the name

,

I am working on making them now , but the fabric I have been using just

isn't holding up too long , it will not keep them all at bay but gives

some

protection , what kind of dog do you have ?? I have mini schnauzers so I

brush them out and do a skin check all the time plus I have a gravel

driveway

and that's a help but I am building a pen that will be in an area that it

pine trees so that will be a challenge

that is a help . Atlantic spice company in Truro Mass also has the oils

and

bottles ect , they are reasonable , try ATTAR in NH too but they buy

irradiated the herbs . Lady Barbara products are expensive but if you make

them yourself as I do it can work too , NOT ROSE Attar Rose geranium , it

goes

for about 8 dollars a half ounce ....orange eos are food grade

hope that helps

D'limonene comes from oranges and is how oranges fend off bugs. It's an

essential oil, is nontoxic to us but repels and kills bugs. You can get it

in the

concentrate form as TKOOrange - one site I know that sells it is
