natural repellents ...
I've been pleased to see that other people have been coming round to my idea of a clove of garlic a day keeps the biters away! But I've heard a couple of new suggestions.
One is that Marmite deters mozzies - can't say that I've noticed it but haven't specifically tried it! Don't know whether you smear it on or just use it as a hot infusion!
The other suggestion is plantain - Plantago spp - see it in a lot of commercial preparations but presumably we could just rub leaves on our skin? I'll give it a try this summer (if it ever gets warm enough for flies) but has anyone else tried it?
