  Mosquitos - These guys have always been the biggest problem for me. In the past I've used deet products, but I've been in search for a non-toxic alternative that really works for a long time. Citronella candles work ok when you're staying within a couple feet of them, but then as soon as you walk away the blood suckers attack. Another alternative I've tried is eucalyptus oil. It works well but leaves my skin feeling really greasy after a while.

  Recently my friend let me in on his secret weapon, Vitamin B1. Apparently it is a natural repellant and I had great results when i tried it in a patch form that I found at www.greenhome.com.
