Homemade Bug Repellent.
Try this one, it works for me.

1/2 cup vasolise jelly
1/4 cup ground fresh sage
1/4 cup ground fresh bay leaf

Grind the fresh herbs in a coffee mill.
Place the vasoline into a small pot and melt on the stove, but do not get hot.
Put the fresh herbs into the vasoline, mix well, and allow to reharden in a cool place for 2 days.

Then place on stove and melt the vasoline again, and allow the herbs to "deep fry" in the oil.
Strain the herbs out with a fine mesh strainer.
Let cool, then pour the vasoline back into the original container.

Works good by me,
mike
