I'm told it really works; also good for repelling ants & fleas

Ingredients:

1/2 litre of alcohol (no idea what sort, whatever doesn't get used in your booze supply)
100 gram of whole cloves
100 ml of baby oil or similar (almond, sesame, chamomile, lavender, fennel etc)

Preparation:
Leave cloves to marinate in alcohol four days
Stir every morning and evening
After 4 days add the oil
It's now ready to use.

How to use:

Gently rub a few drops into the skin of the arms and legs.
Observe the mosquitoes fleeing the room.
Repels fleas on pets too.

If it doesn't work, you can always drink it :-D

I'm off to the grog shop to get a cheap bottle of sherry :-D
