    danniellabella - what does the citronella smell like, I like the the smell of lemon oil, but not sure about citronella. I like the sound of it though because my husband gets attacked by mossies they leave me alone but make a meal out of him and he swells up and everything.
    Smells the same as a citronella candle. HTH. Don't use too much as it can be overpowering.

    I used the essential oil and found it worked brilliantly. I put it on a broom (clean of course) and brushed it over all the cornices. No spiders for months.

    Apparently if you grow lemon grass it can help reduce mozzies, haven't tried that one yet though.
