But as long as I am on my own property, I'm OK. <a href="http://www.ivyhill.tv" rel="nofollow">Ivy Hill</a> is completely mulched with shredded cedar, which has the same effect on insect life as a cedar closet. And for the areas that are not mulched -- the hillside covered with English ivy and the grassy areas, we use a granular product that combines mint oil, garlic oil, and lemon grass. Completely organic, and it makes the mosquitos want to live somewhere else. We keep the water sources moving with drippers or fountains, so no mosquitos there either. Also with no pesticides, there is no risk to the numerous pets (I cannot pass up a hard luck story about an animal that needs to be rescued.) The latest arrival is Ginger, who was saved from the Prince William animal shelter on the eve of her scheduled execution. She had been adopted out several times and everyone brought her back because she was hostile. She was pretty angry when she came here too, but we never give up. After a month of hissing and snarling and attacking, she gradually became a very loving cat. Will put up some pictures eventually. I will try the previous suggestion for something to rub on me.

I can recommend a new “scrub” product called “Mitigator Sting &amp; Bite Treatment”; to say that it is terrific is an understatement! It actually removes venom by exfoliating the top layer of skin, opening the pores and drawing out the toxins. I had instant relief from pain and itching and all traces of the sting disappeared within minutes. I found it on the web at www.Mitigator.net. I got a great deal on a bundled package called the Mitigator “Itch Kit”, it contains enough products for the whole year – over $50.00 of retail product for under $20.00 (enough for over 300 stings or bites) and it comes in a great looking pouch. The only thing that can create a problem is if you wait too long to apply it, it should be rubbed in vigorously within the first few minutes after the bite or sting – the longer you wait, the less effective it is. I’ve used it on bees, wasps, fire ants (no blisters even appeared), mosquitoes and chiggers. They say it works on jellyfish but I’m a long way from the ocean so I haven’t needed it for that problem. No smelly chemicals, works great and is even safe for kids (the scrubbing replaces scratching so – no secondary infections). I should make a commercial for them! Mitigator Rules!
