I made this soap because so many clients have been asking for a natural soap that will deter Mosquitoes. I used the base recipe that I like the most, and added Essential Oils that deter Mosquitoes. Just waiting for it to cure but I have a feeling it will sell out quickly!
Really at a loss for a name here… I am not interested in cutsy or comical names. Just want a simple straight-forward name for this soap? There has to have a simple translation into Spanish as well… any ideas?

Good idea!!!
a name in Italian? "Scaccia zanzare"
neither not cute nor not comical...dunno..but here goes anyway:
No Bite Bar
Bug Off
Camper's Friend
Camping Bar
Nomosquito
Summertime
...i'll stop ;)
Hey Jen, Mine's called
"Skeeter Beater", -you're welcome to use that in Spain, but I don't know how it would translate! LOL!
I did a "Tick-Off" tick repellant soap (that landed me on Southern IL T.V. a few years ago) that sold like hotcakes. (Don't have any this year, though)I will bet you SELL OUT of this new at your next market -no matter what you name it!
Por si las Moscas
And whatever suits you in English.
Cheers!
Thats funny,
I made the same, because a lot of people asked...
I called it
-------------MückWech--------

Hi Jen, mine is called 'Dirty Dog' but I don't know the Spanish translation, I could probably do the Portuguese one though!! looks lovely
Very Nice White Soaps!
I wonder what kind of essential oils you used..? Very interesting!
Mosquitoes in Japanese is "KA".
FYI.. =)
Bug soap is a total summer must! Loving everyone's name suggestions!
I love it, I made a soap like this a year ago and it was popular as well. This is reminding me to make another batch.
I'd use: Bug Be Gone, Bug Off Soap, Stay Away Bugs, Shoofly Soap
PS I wish I was going to be near Toronto in July and August as my sister and I were talking about it awhile back. I'm sure you will have a great time, I'm a big fan of Marilyn Denis and wanted to see her new live as I've seen the old one live.
Maybe at some point my sister and I can send you the words or an audio file of our funny Craft Market aches song.

Bugs Away, Mosquito No More is kinda long, but I don't know how it would translate.
I need a soap like this for my little one, she's been getting eaten lately.
Beautiful soap, Jennifer. Have fun choosing a name from all the great suggestions.
All I know is that another soaper got in trouble for using Bug Off, since it is trademarked by SC Johnson, and that was the name I was using. So I changed it to Bye Bye Bugs. Sells out fast!
Killer bar
Celine, Thank you for offering your creativity!! You speak Spanish!!? xo Jen
Sonja, On Babelfish, this translates as "Drives Away Mosquitos"... oh wow. Look at what a beautiful language Italian is... Scaccia zanzare.... Scaccia zanzare... Sounds like a beautiful love poem, not Drives Away Mosquitos!! I love it! Thank you for your contribution. xoxo Jen
Sadly not Jen, but Google Translator does LOL x
Cocobong, You have really given me some good ones... I think I may like Summertime best!! Simple. Thank you!! xo Jen
Becky, Soap Sister, Thank you for the offer! Tick off soap? TV? I think I would really like to hear this story!!!! Why aren't you still making it? xo Jen
Coco, I like "Por si las Moscas"... I have always liked that Spanish exression. Thank you. I may use it. Now to come up with something in English...xo Jen
Zwerg, can you help me? What does MückWech mean? I can't seem to find a translation easily...
SoapChick, I LOVE Dirty Dog. Too many choices now! xo Jen
AYU, The EO combo is: Citronella, Eucalyptus, Cedarwood, Lemongrass and Basil. However, I am waiting for a shipment of Lemon Eucalyptus which I want to try in the next batch. xoxo Jen
Thanks Anne-Marie! xo Jen
Michelle, two blooms, Thank you for the suggestions. So many to choose from!! Oh, I wish you were going to be in TO as well... Would love to see the lyrics to that song. I compose sometimes as well. It has been years since I have written a song. xoxoox Jen

I also have a DrechWech( Dirt away)

Jen,
I hope we meet someday as I'd like to give you a big hug, after all we are Canadians and from the same province. Who knows maybe I'll come to Spain one day.
This song is a very silly one and not one of my best works by any means. The lyrics change according to our mood. :)
Michelle
Miscellanea, Thanks for the suggestion!!! xo Jen
Zwerg, Thank you. Sounds great in German! Like a play on words. Thanks for the help translating. xo Jen

Michelle, Two Blooms, I would love a big hug from a fellow Canadian and Soap Maker. You would be very welcome for a visit here as long as you are up to making some soap together!!! Any time. I love silly, goofy, spontaneous songs. One day maybe we can sing it together. xo Jen
