Mosquito Magnet

[The Avon Lady]

Anyone ever heard of this (http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/)? Is this the Holy Grail of mosquito control?

That looks amazing... but $700?! I think I'd rather just spray some bug repellent on myself for $3 (or however much bug spray is).

Eat a drop of tea tree oil, the oil will make your blood very bitter and your skin will give off a scent that is unpleasant to mosquitos. Or you can eat some raw onions, those are good.

What is tea tree oil and where can I get it?

I don't worry about the mozzie's, as winter has got rid of them here where I live. In summer it's spray on the Areoguard and ave a good weekend!:up:

It's an oil made from the melaleuca plant and is quite common here in the U.S. since it's either made here or imported from the south pacific.

Here's some info at Wikipedia:

As for where you can get it in England I'm not sure (here we have it mostly in health-food stores), but if you can't seem to find it just eat a mouthful of raw onion and it'll do just as good (nice and spicy too).
