Put a dryer sheet hanging out your back pocket and safety pin one to top of each sleeve. That keeps them off me in the skeeter infested back yard.

Thanks for all the great advice. Definitely bookmarking.
I cannot imagine those store products are good for our babies.
If something happened to one of mine b/c of them I would be devastated.

So great to have this info for many reasons, but I get so tired of spending "mega-bucks" for the flea and tick repellent.

Do you spray this on the dogs everytime they go out, once a day, weekly, monthly? Also I have tried the dryer sheets and they do not work for me.
