Edible Natural Home-made Bug Spray

the kind with legs, not computer bugs. :-)

this was posted on a dog list I read. It's supposedly effective on biting flies and mosquitoes, as well as a wonderful tea, marinade, salad dressing and barbeque aid. No, really!

Natural Flea Spray

Bring a quart of water just to a boil.
Pour it over a fat sliced lemon and a tablespoon of crushed rosemary leaves. Let this sit overnight.
Strain and put in a spray bottle.
If you have a serious infestation, pour the whole batch in the tub as a rinse after a bath with a good herbal shampoo. Leave on and rub in for five minutes.
