to cathy and brandon....

first for cathy....i use fresh garlic and even a 1/2 teaspoon....i grate it onto their food...so it would be one down stroke on the grater....when you do some thing so much you dont measure any longer...and i use it year round......for the mosquitoes....i use citronella oil on rags...you can also buy the candles they work nice....i also wipe a little on the dogs but you want to be carefull with a baby around...or other dogs licking on audrey...i also buy the plants and have them growing all around my fence...

this is my bug spray

2 drops rosemary/lavender oil......3 drops citronella oil......20 drops of rose geranium (plumarosa oil).......1/2 ounce or 1 tablespoon alchol based green or black walnut hull tincture......... 8 ounces distilled water....

this is safe...you can spray it every where....  i buy all my oils at a store called whole grocies their a all natural store.....whole grains...goats milk things like that....but with a little research you can find everthing on line...

ok brandon......liver is to rich for wilson this is raw...i never gave him cooked as i dont like to take the chance....he threw up yellow bile....this was calf liver...i have tried chicken livers..as their small..he seemed ok but i only give him one or two a week....i use kidney for my organ instead of liver..he seems to tolerate it better....

Thanks Judy!

Is it the same citronella oil that you can put in lamps to burn? Or is it more of an essentiaL oil?

I ordered some oils today!

Is the spray safe to use daily? I live in a swampy mosquito paradise, I have to be concerned about them in the house as much as I do outside. There are ALWAYS mosquitos in my house in the warm months, as early as January sometimes. Do I use the spray once daily? How long does it last? Also, I did get the essential oils, and am wondering about the safety of it if she licks it. The essential oils are NOT the ones people use to take internaly are they?

Hi Judy

Thanks for your reponse.  I bought some chicken liver and pork kidney today, and I'm going to start feeding a small amount tomorrow.  We'll see how it goes.  Thanks again!
