I'm one of the fortunate ones. They pretty much leave me alone. I'll even see it on me and just brush it off or blow it away. However my daughter gets eaten and I want a natural solution because we are going camping. After watching many vids, I'm going to try this LEMON, pure vanilla with no sugar and no alcohol and actually this has been my natural perfume for years. I go on a date smelling like a vanilla cupcake. who can resist. I'm also going to pick up some peppermint oil and lavender. My daughter refuses to use apple cider vinegar, haha, but I bet that would repel EVERYTHING! lol Thanks for the vid. We also get many sand flies here.
@@electronicsNmore I know that it's so true that ACV is amazing for so many things and I did a detox with it once and drank it as you are talking about and I haven't been able to do it since, lol. I'm going to give it another try though because I have some packed to take with us. My daughter and I are leaving for a 2 month outdoor adventure in 3 days. Super excited.
I JUST got a bad bite two days ago at a NFL game and obviously pissed off about it and looking for ways to prevent this in the future. Will definitely try this 💯
Your video sincerely came in the perfect timing. I almost lost hope fighting with these annoying creatures. I don't have lemon but have wild lemon ( the bitter one ) and I applied on my skin. It seems great too. So far so good, thanks
I'll have to try this. I have read that lime juice on skin and sunlight don't go well together. I have use the spays with deet sometimes and they are like nerve gas to me. I have to have plenty of fresh air or they would do me in.
Hi Lloyd. You should not have to use lemon juice on your skin when the sun is out. The only time I use it is just before the sun goes down, or when working in wooded/shady areas during the day.
haha ... just gone through your channel videos again. I remember this one, my girlfriend and i tried it when we went to wales, uk - lots of midgies. It works!
awesome thanks man! ive also tried putting real vanilla extract dabbed behind the ears helps, but depends on the persons body chemistry if it works or not
Many years ago, I also lived in the Caribbean. The mosquitoes were all over me at first, but after a few weeks they generally left me alone. I heard that was a common phenomenon--your blood chemistry alters defensively to become less attractive to them. Did that happen for you? Thanks for the tip BTW--I will try it. I no longer have that natural defense.

Someone told me to rub red wine over my skin to repel those dreaded mozzies but I've never done it. I didn't want to stink like an old wino. Lol. I'm terribly allergic to their bites. They just love me & will bite thru clothing & all. Then I'll get the most itchy swollen skin that only an antihistamine tablet can relieve. I live in fear of the dirty little bastards!

I drink a tablespoon of AVC in water daily. Not the best tasting, but good for you. Thanks for watching Sherri!

Great tip, I will try it... I think it is the Citrus they do not like correct?

@@electronicsNmore what happens to your skin with lemon juice on it in the sun?
@@dutyforce233 Nothing happens to me.
Thank's for that good tip .
I guess I can refrain from eating too much garlic or drinking too much scotch !
" Happy Father's Day "

Great idea! I've also heard of rubbing a dryer sheet on your skin works for some people.
Thanks. I'm always looking for new ways to repel sandflies and mosquitos. :-) I'm a mosquito magnet when outdoors.
Change the polarity :P
awesome thanks man! ive also tried putting real vanilla extract dabbed behind the ears helps, but depends on the persons body chemistry if it works or not
True, something that works great for me, my not work well with other people.
Great tip, thanks!
How long does the effect last?
You're welcome. I reapply when I notice I'm starting to get bites. It does last a while.
Extremely helpful!!! Thanks a lot...

No. They loved me. :-)
You have to take a bath for this to be effective. Those who dislike did not, that's why it didn't work for them.
It works for me before a shower. Thanks for watching!
TY.

can lime be used instead
Never tried it.
I used lime and it seems to also work
Ive heard eating marmite also helps. I did this before before going to egypt and didnt encounter any bites.
Great! Now bugs are chasing me
They hate lemon juice. :-)
Don't mosquitoes like citrus scented things?
No, flies like rotting fruit.
