Remember the days when suntan lotion was for helping you tan, not protecting you from a tan. I suspect oil on a sunny day would help with that George Hamilton look.

Spider mites? Inside or outside? Depending on the plant you can just blast some with a hose and use soapy water on the rest??? We're talking plant right?
Oh yeah, and how long before you smell rancid?

Yeah. I know what you are thinking ... its in the wrong thread; it should be in one on cooking (and yes, I do occasionally cook with it).
Until this afternoon, I would have agreed with you. However, today I was in a big box store looking for an organic insecticide (got some pesky spider mites I need to get rid of). As I was going through each label, I picked up one and began reading the contents:
Canola Oil ... 95%
Other ... 5%
CANOLA OIL? Are you kidding?
After getting back home, I googled it. Turns out that lots of insects don't like oil, especially canola oil. They apparently don't like it on their mouth parts. After looking further, I found that canola oil is one recommendation for repelling black flies and stable flies.
Anyone have any experience with this? Does it work? Any downside other than oiliness?
