If I remember correctly, that is. Skin So Soft is the classic bug repellent! (For people and critters) but I never considered mixing it in with the bug spray. Good idea!<BR/><BR/>Dilling, it's okay right now. I squished a few bugs, both kinds.<BR/><BR/>JKB, Bo and Tia were my doctors today. I darn near got Bo to fall asleep when I was grooming him. <BR/><BR/>Then I squirted him and he perked up. You can imagine where I had to squirt the poor guy.<BR/><BR/>Coffeypot, nobody stuns a conversation like you do!!!!! (Those are some nasty mental images after that comment...)<BR/><BR/>Olly- Yup.<BR/><BR/>Hello APW! That is an interesting anti-barking idea. I don't know if it'd work for my dog though, because his neck is so thick he can wiggle out of his collar! I have a few citronella plants outside my back door. They're awesome. So easy to sprout cuttings and grow new plants! I'm hoping they'll keep the bugs away this summer.<BR/><BR/>The fly spray in the picture has citronella in it. I like that smell. My daughter hates it but she can just stand back when we spray the horses. <BR/><BR/>My horses wear fly masks all summer. Dad doesn't want to catch them and spray them down every day, but they'll come up to him and almost stick their heads right into the masks.

They had a collar that spritzed it at the dogs if they barked. It was a good method, and it probably helped keep bugs away from the dogs, too!A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-58770721823068751892008-06-12T16:16:00.000-07:002008-06-12T16:16:00.000-07:00So...yeah...I was gonna say something, but after t...So...yeah...I was gonna say something, but after that last one...I got nothing.Ollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956488313345711218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-89872846900314981702008-06-12T15:44:00.000-07:002008-06-12T15:44:00.000-07:00Does that stuff work on people?

Then, I add some Skin So Soft from Avon.<BR/><BR/>It smells good and stays on longer. And I am not too terribly freaked out about the chemicals because the Pyrethrins they use are Chrysanthemum extracts.<BR/><BR/>It is pretty cheap too. <BR/><BR/>(Have a great day at the barn.
