Natural bug repellents?
I need some help with an insect repellent I can make myself. Every recipe I've found online is for the kind you put on your body; I'm interested in some for my patio. With the weather getting nicer my family and I are spending a lot of time out there and I don't want us getting swarmed later in the summer. Any recipes or links would be greatly appreciated.

There is a natural product called geraniol from geranium plants. Look for the products on ebay.
I would try dish soap and water. I that mixture is used on industrial farms to keep away pests. Other than that maybe OFF. Sorry if this didn't help.
The best natural plant insect repellant that I've ever used is cat-nip plants. I grew them in 'window boxes' that I put all around the edges of my porch/patio. Cheap and easy!
