Title: Re: Permethrin and insect repellents

"This 8 ounce bottle is perfect to take hiking, fishing, camping, golfing, or any other outdoor activity. Full ingredient list: lemongrass oil, water, vanilla, castor oil, soya lecithin, lemon, vitamin E."

This what the Bug Soother folks list as ingredients.  Wonder if bears are fond of the smell of Lemongrass oil?

I know DEET is not healthy and it takes the paint off my crankbaits, but I have still not found anything that works as well.

Does the permethrin just kill the bugs or does it repel them as well?  I thought it was mostly for ticks?
