Okay, testimonial time. I've been using the mosquito repellent for the past few weeks. It has been a HORRIBLE mosquito summer. Why? We've had almost NO rain. Doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, this stuff really works. I watch the buggers hover over me and then fly off. Not kidding!

On Sunday I shared some with my neighbor who's toddler was being eaten alive. I'm about to take her a printed copy of the “recipe” now, which is why I'm back here. I thought “what the heck, I should report my findings!!”

Check it out… it's SO MUCH nicer than DEET.

OH WOW!!!  That so ROCKS!!!  I don't experience them that much here… so I've not prepped any solution for myself… makes me want to mix it just to have it on hand … love this kind of testimonial!!!

And I couldn't agree more about the “it's SO MUCH nicer than DEET.”

Very happy!
