Mosquito repellent

Does anybody know where, in TRNC, to buy citronella lamp and torch oil in 1 litre bottles?

I know 'Homebase' in the South sometimes stock it, but not always, as it gets sold out very quickly.

Alternatively, if some kind person is going South and would buy us 1 or 2 bottles, we'd be extremely grateful!
We can be contacted at 'Ronnies Furniture' - ask for Roy.

Last night, sitting on our patio, we were waving our arms about, like a Maori welcome, to try and fend off the mossies - there were clouds of them. Then I remembered there was a lamp in the cupboard that still had a little bit of citronella oil left in it. I lit it up and, 'Abracadabra!, the mossies disappeared!

Can't answer that one but does anyone know where I can get citronella candles of any sort please - genuine citronella, not just yellow candles.

Hi you can get citronella oil & candles at Superhome in the South. This year I have some citronella aromatherapy oil I am going to try in a burner for indoors as well.
Basil plants are supposed to deter mosquitos but have never found them veryeffective at our house.
