Not quite. It's lacking an 'a'


The anagram was in the bit that was snipped. L Maria


There's still an 'a' missing.

Anyone with any idea how to get rid of gnats in the garden? They are
only found in the garden and not found indoors. They are like mosquito
bites, only worse.



Avon's Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil spray keeps the midges and mozzies off
without
using any active chemicals.


One drop of DEET based repellant on your clothing works. How much Avon's
Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil spray do you need to use?

Skin so Soft also comes in lotion form which I prefer to use.
I have it on good authority that it doesn't stop the insects trying to get
you but they cannot land on you to bite you.

I think that I would prefer even Highland midges to a layer of slimy
stuff like that!
