Where to buy citronella?

Let me know how you get on buying it!
Will it get rid of silverfish do you think?0 -
When we were in Sri Lanka the locals used citronella oil to rub a small amount on their skin to keep the mossies at bay.
I'm sure that I heard someone asking for it a tesco pharamacy and they said they were getting some in.....so perhaps ask and they may be able to get some.0 -
They probably watch how clean is your house - I think sales of certain things rocket when they use them! Not sure there will be much of a market for sour goats milk though!0

just seen this message as I had a massive spider last night and decided to google it. Avon sell a dry oil body spray that contains citronella, the marines use it to deter insects! it's called Fresh n Dry Dry oil Spray (it has to be that scent). I wonder how you got on with citronella? i'm about to spray it everywhere!!0

just be careful where you spray it, as obviously it's greasy and might mark your fabrics and wallpaper'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time0

Local chemists sometimes sell it. I put a few drops of the neat oil around window frames to keep away wasps. Seems to work for about a month before it needs renewed.0

I just bought some from my local Weldricks chemist in Doncaster, £2.19/ 10ml, but I actually want to try it sprayed on some bark chippings as a CAT repellent!
Any thoughts?0
