Hi PCT-L,

I've noticed Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus mosquito repellent growing in 
popularity lately.  Consumer Reports' testing shows it as probably 
better than picaridin, which is my current go-to (I avoid DEET due to 
the risk of damage to synthetic fabrics).

I haven't tried OLE yet though, partly because it sounds like it would 
be fragrant.  I'm concerned that, like scented toiletries, it would 
smell like potential human food to wildlife, and attract mice and other 
pests.

Has anybody used OLE bug repellent in an area where food smells are an 
issue?  Did you have any problems?

Thanks,
