Just as it says on the tin.

Is it just me or are flys out in force this year ?

.......Do you want a recipe or what?

be interested in home made recipies - I make one up with vinegar, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil and citronella, plus water. have tried loads of shop bought and home made stuff over the years - the best one is the stuff you dilute yourself and only have to spray now and again but only use it for shows as it is so chemically.

yes i would like the recipe, sorry if that was unclear

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

I've PM'd you....ok

As a matter of interest, does anyone know why citronella was banned in horsey products? Can you still buy it at the chemists?

Definitely can but at Boots etc - bought some yesterday

This is mine

250 ml of avon skin so soft and fresh bath oil - but if you don't have a horse with SI or lots of midges you can half this.

1 teaspoon each of tea tree, lavender, citronella, cedar wood and eucalyptus oil.

5 capfuls of dettol

Mix with cold tea or water to make 1 litre.

Spray on twice a day leaving a fine mist on the coat. I have also used this on people. I find this ok on delicate areas - but do a patch test first.

It does work very well for a home made receipe with no chemicals and whilst not the cheapest, smells nice and is not that expensive to make.
