Hi,
 
Thanks for all the good input on catnip as a mosquito repellant, and I want to 
make sure that I understand how to put this together.  What I'm hearing is that 
a little catnip oil should be mixed with a much bigger amount of coconut oil.  
Then, lemon tea tree oil or lavender oil can be mixed in, in order to make the 
smell pleasant.
 
I will fool around with quantities used, but would appreciate some suggestions 
on this.  For one thing I'm afraid that the coconut oil would overcome the 
catnip oil, reducing its effectiveness.  I'm thinking that the catnip oil must 
be very potent indeed.  What about just using a really small amount of coconut 
oil, making up the mix, then rubbing on, even putting this on a hanky or some 
clothing?
 
Any additional observations will be appreciated, and I believe I'm near the 
answers.
 
Reid
