Plant some lavender, citronella grass, lemon verbena and holy basil in a planter by your door. Grab a handful, roll it vigorously between your hands and rub it on him. Yourself, too. Works as well as DEET. Smells good, looks pretty by the door.

Thanks!
I have never considered having a planter by the door but it’s a wonderful suggestion.
I have Lavender and lemon verbena in the herb garden. Don’t have citronella grass but have lemon geranium which is supposed to repel mosquitoes.
I’ll have to hunt for the holy basil. Maybe get seeds. I’ve never seen it locally in nurseries.
