If you watch them, they fly a 360 round the room go to the next one and do the same thing. Wierd. Right, natural repellants. I have only bought this from Sainsburys pharmacy so it must be available elsewhere. But a 100ml bottle of Citronella is about £3.00, any more than this and go somewhere else for it. Citronella is used in many insect repellant products such as Jungle Formula, flea collars, flea ... Read the complete review
