The Dogmother Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You can get them from your local pharmacy - you'd have to check prices though as I can't remember. A few drops of both are excellent for warding off flies and other bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get the Mrs to pick up some 'manly' Tea tree oil. I use citronella or tea tree. They both work very well. Tea tree is a handy one to have as it can be used to clean cuts and things too (Diluted-not neat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusrooster Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 thanks everyone, what volume are we talking about, i'm guessing small bottles ? and how much / how often do you use it in the run/eglu ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yup, they are small bottles. You use a few drops in the run/housing every week when you clean out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
