skunky, I give you an A, for effort, on this alternative recipe. The Cedar and Citronella will work fairly well at repelling mosquitos, but it won't repel the Dog Flies, even DEET doesn't do that. Instead of using these essential oils listed above in the recipe, you will have more success substituting Lemon Eucalyptus E.O.
