Default Insecticides with Plant Oils as Active Ingredients

every single INDEPENDENT trial of "natural" products show they repel for very short
times. do they put their time limit on their product? everyone thinks "natural"
means safe. hoooo haaaa .. how about the oil from poison ivy???? there is greater
chance a child will break out in allergic rash from combination of natural oils that
from DEET sprayed and dried on clothes before kids are dressed. Ingrid

your "natural oils" do repel mosquitos- I use a product called Natrapel that
contains citronella and it works great. You cant sue a company because thier
product didnt live up to a claim it never made in the first place. I cant go
suing a beer company because I didnt have a bunch of girls all over me like the
commercials. "repels mosquitoes" does not in any way claim to prevent west
nile virus. The chances of actually getting the virus are very slim.
