I have been doing some searching around to see what else we can do about the mosquitoes. It has been raining now and the biting has begun in earnest. What I thought is that we could all share and build up a list of remedies and repellants that we have tried, trusted and most of all are safe for us and our children.
*wearing light, loose, long sleeved clothing and pants. To avoid being bitten in the first place......apparently mosquitoes are more attracted to darker clothes so try lighter coloured clothing.
*each week we can burn the citronella torches and the candles
*use the bug zapper and turn on the fans as people are arriving to "make wind" to discourage the mosquitoes from landing on us.
*I have heard that pure vanilla extract on pulse points is able to repel mosquitoes
*and it could be worth a shot.......I'll make a big pot of garlic soup for next week :)
See you all then...details about Esther's sessions on the 23rd and 30th of June to come :)
Cheers
Penny
