How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Lapinou]

Those of you who use citronella oil to keep flies away, is it the essential oil you use?

 

And how much of it do you find you need?

 

Do you need it in the summer only (am aware of how expensive it might get!)?

I use the essential oil. 10 drops in a large spray bottle of water, plus 5 drops of tea tree (might also add some lavender oil next time) I spritz round the inside of the cube on hot days.

Same here but use citronella and eucalyptus, 10 drops each in a spray bottle of water.

I use 5 drops and put them neat on some kitchen paper and place this in the circular gap round the handle of the eglu - works wonders!

I use citronella and eucalyptus too.

 

I just put 5 drops of each in the poo tray., onto the layer of Aubiose.

 

No need for it in the winter as you suggest, but I still do it as I like the smell.

I like this idea, I dont really have a problem with flies in gerneral, but it seems a sensible place to put it... nice smelly stuff on the not so nice smelly stuff.

I bought some oil recently so I think I will try this.

Citronella also helps to keep lice at bay I think as that's the active ingredient in Gold Label louse powder.
