Would a equal amount of vinegar enhance this as a deterrent or more so as a relief?
I was certain of a third ingredient to the recipe we used, but cannot be sure of which use, maybe both?.
Odour would not come into the equation for me, as long as it worked.

When I heard that old recipe it was more oil and less detol (1:4?) but also 1 part metho was recommended. I used (years ago) to find it as effective as Rid and better than Aerogard. A chemist in Broome used to sell 'Special Tropical Strength' repellant to the tourists and that was this recipe. I reckon he was getting $20-30 per litre for the stuff - a nice little earner!
