Insect Repellant

I make a formula for insect repelling;I use:

* 2 ounce Sesame seed oil base
* 1/2 ounce Citronella oil
* 1/2 ounce Lemongrass oil
* 1/2 ounce Cedar oil
* 1/2 ounce Rosemary oil

This is a strong mixture if you want to you can add more sesame oil and test run a 
weaker version. I use it on my hat (straw hats) on my socks (smells great in the laundry
;) and some on the skin, but test it on yourself first. My dogs hate it but sometimes I 
use it on them if bothered by biting flys or knats.
