General Comments
Citronella is a great natural insect repellent. You can buy citronella candles and other products, but I just buy a bottle of essential oil and mix a drop with my suntan lotion for all over coverage. I then mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle for top-ups. At night you can put a few drops around your bed too. It really works for me and it's completely natural which a massive bonus is. It's only a couple of pounds and lasts ages.
