I received this on my Google Alert. This is a very significant study - 36 MILLION Medicare patients were studied. That makes it pretty valid. (i got this from here: http://www.onearth.org/node/1859 )

I guess I am going to have to throw my wasp spray away! Is t here any "natural" spray that can be used for household pests (insect repellant - bees and wasps, ants, etc.)?

Someone told me to use Avon's "Skin So Soft" as a mosquito repellant, and it works wonderfully! When I clean windows in the fall and spring, I wipe some Skin So Soft in the windowsills and it keeps gnats and spiders away. It also has a pleasant soft pine smell. (and YES! I can smell it; so it may not be as soft a smell as I think!)
