Safe Mosquito Repellent

[Krista, Angel, and Toby]

Hello, all.  So, I have fleas and ticks under control for now, but mosquitos are another story.  I was wondering if anyone knows a good dog-safe repellent that actually works?  I have heard tale of peppermint oil, but I can't see that actually working, not to mention driving the poor dogs mad with the smell of it (I like it, but you have to admit, it's a strong smell, and dogs' sense of smell is so much stronger than our own...)  And I thought of the clip-on Off thing for me while walking them...Would that work, do you think?  Or putting it on their collars?  The poor dears can't go outside for ten minutes without being pestered by pests.  Thanks!

I use Pet Guard gel it repells flys, gnats and mosquitos.  The gnats just attack Apollo's ears and this stuff works great.  It only takes a small amount and last for a couple days.  Another product is Flys Off insect repellent.  I have yet to find a natural product that works well enough.  Living in the country it seems we have a lot more bugs.

Mosquitoes are BAD here.  I just ordered this: http://www.mosquitobarrier.com/   to spray my yard with.  I dont

know if it actually works yet -but I pray it does.

I'm curious to see if this works for you, give us an update.  Gnats are horrible right now almost more than mosquitos if you can believe that.
