I'm wearing the Dettol mix today, its hot and humid here after a rainy night and lots of mozzies around. I am wearing a sleeveless top so spread it all over my arms. Haven't been bitten today. Took my little dog out by the park for a walk. The mozzies were landing on her back but none came near my arms. Not sure about the smell though!!

Hi Ken
I'd seriously consider using The Locals Sandfly and Mozzie Stuff, you don't have to take my word for it, just ask around I'm sure you'll hear others that will recommend it. I don't know where you are but if you go to The Locals website www.thelocals.net.authere's a store locator so you might be able to find an outlet selling it nearby, otherwise order it from the site it takes 3 - 5 days for delivery

Wow - this post is soooooooo old - though still relevant - getting a bit confusing though I think.

Dettol and baby oil works well, I used it fishing in the NT for 22 years.
Mix and apply to skin when in their territory 50/50.

Yep baby oil is good, or other natural oils can work well too.
This video says lemon juice works. Has anyone tried that as a repellent? Might not be good if you have a few cuts. youtu.be/jvizOzDfxAw
