Hi Steph and Blue,
I really appreciate your concern
As for garlic i'm still hesitant about using it as I know it can be deadly for pets.
An old local wiz told about the baggies half filled with water... unseccessful.
I will try the rice thing (i never heard about it before).
Regarding the aromatic cedar ships... porbably I can't find it in Saudi Arabia, but I will order some from homeland (I'm from Lebanon and Lebanon is known for its cedars).
I'm afraid with the desert climate here, growing mint is not possible.
I know already that citronella oil can be very harmful for dogs, but today I am visiting the horse supply store, I hope i will be able to find some good products.
I'll keep you informed about the latest results.
Thank you once again for your help.
George
