Sorry I didn't respond to your question about the proportions for the mosquito formula - I was away for tow days, and when I came back everything was overwhelming! I do the Homosexual Agenda Ping list, so when I leave I have a lot to wade through. Literally.

Unfortunately I use essential oils the way I cook - don't measure too much. I bet there are formulas you could find by googling, Jeanne Rose is one of my favorite authors for aromatherapy, although there are many and no doubt many I've never heard of.

I just do MOSTLY citronella with lesser amounts of the others. Keep in mind that pennyroyal is rather toxic, although it shouldn't hurt as long as no one drinks it!!! I hate the smell of it, so I just use a little. I apologize for not being more scientific! I haven't used "regular" bug repellent for years, and the ones I mix myself seem to satisfy even my DH, and bugs LOVE him.
