Natural Bug Repellents For Dogs?
I’d like to make my own tick/black fly repellent for my dog, but I’m wondering if any of the common natural ingredients are harmful to canines. Most recipes include lemon/lemongrass, rosemary, thyme, basil, bay leaf, catnip, cloves, and aloe vera gel. Essential oils used are rose, eucalyptus, lavender and cedar. Any experiences, or can you recommend a bug spray I can make at home?

Shoo!TAG cost analysis & effectiveness rating! #5 of 5 Conclusion
This video details the costs and the effectiveness period I experienced with Feline, Equine, Canine and Human tags. None lasted longer then 5 weeks despite their claim to last 4 months. The 5 week period extended from June 11, 2009 to around July 18th. I shall post details on my blog at in2books.blogspot.com UPDATE I AMENDED the other 4 videos to state: This video is #1 of 5 total. #5 is the “Effectiveness & Cost Analysis” conclusion. The glory of the equine tag was short lived & lasted NO MORE then 5 weeks total. Not just with my horse, but 9 others of friends. I had equine, feline, canine and human tags, which all proved to be ineffective. Sorry, but honest reporting is only fair.

What's the best mosquito repellent you don't have to spray on?
I’m tired of getting bit by mosquitoes, even in the middle of the day, while walking my dog. I don’t want to put on a DEET spray or lotion just for 20 minutes of being outside.
Are there better alternatives? How well do the insect shield clothing work? I hear the mosquito wrist bands a re a rip off as well as the dragon fly sound stuff. Also the OFF clip on isn’t for moving around. It doesn’t work if you move and takes a few minutes to be effective if moved, definitely not for me.
I could wear long sleeves and pants, but it’s over 100 degrees here. So, anyone know of a mosquito repellent that you don’t have to apply on your skin that works?

How do I make a natural fly catching repellent that won't make my dogs sick if they think it's a giant pinata?
I’ve got 5 dogs and pick up after them twice a day. With the warm weather approaching, I’ve also now got a giant fly population the size of Brazil. I’ve tried to get rid of them using the bags you buy at Lowe’s/Home Depot, fill with water and hang from the highest point. My dogs think they’re pinatas and manage to jump up and knock them down (and get sick as a result). Do you know of an EFFECTIVE Homemade Fly Repellent I can make at home – spray on the lawn, trees, etc…? Would like to kill flies, but not my dogs. Thanks for any help! Avondale, AZ

Anyone use this product? Is it safe for dogs if they lick it? I just bought a bottle of it and wanted some advice before using it.
