Never heard of them! Good lord, they sound like a Hollywood horror creation!.................
You have to put some honey in there first.
Where I live there are only feral cats who leave everyone alone - deep forests.
If you’re from Minnesota, the skeeters will take the dryer with them.
Go to BugOut.com and check out the shirts. They also come with pants.
Mosquitoes have not been very bad at our house this year.
I kinda miss the old Tom cat. At least he kept the squirrel population down...............
Wow. I am in Oklahoma and SPF 20 is usually overkill for me...
Here in Florida, people from up north really don’t know how powerful our sunlight is, until they look like a lobster on a dinner plate....................
“Sure seems like something could be ingested to make you less palatable to the damn things.”
I take dry garlic tablets to prevent chigger (Arachnid American) bites. If you take it in enough concentration to be able to smell it on your skin, you will have few if any bites.
my guess is that would work for mosquitoes also. I no longer live in a climate where we have enough to bother with repellent.
We used the DEET back when I lived and duck hunted the Gulf coast.
Ditto!
Go to Wisemen Trading and Supply for the mosquito shirts. They have exactly what I have and they work great!
My wife got a B-12 shot several years back. Worked wonders for her for quite a while.
I use Vick’s Vapor Rub. I rub it on my neck and other exposed areas. It always seems to work for me and the jar is small.
Thanks for the pointer and the link, I'll check them out.
Our neighborhood has had a spraying program the last two years and the mosquitoes have been less numerous. The county only sprays when infected mosquitoes are trapped; I think they sprayed only once over in nearby Shepherd Forest.
The cost of our private program is putting our c.c. in Butt Hurt Land, miniature version of Obamaland, and the president of the c.c. isn't standing for reelection. More fun.
Moms with kids favored the spraying; moms with babies were on the other side. </off gross generalizations>
Yeah, I heard that one before. Wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t half true. They do build them big up there.
DDT would be great. I wish they would let me use it.
I went camping in Maine a few years back with a bunch of guys, it was during mosquito season, it was pouring rain, and somehow, someway we decided that was the time to take the advice of someone who thought that Skin So Soft was a valid alternative to regular mosquito spray.
Not only did we get eaten alive, we smelled like French whores, and every single thing that we cooked and ate tasted like Skin So Soft.
I can barely even smell that stuff now without feeling nauseous!
Not my hand....

I hope not — girl nails.
Supposedly it’s your blood type.
Way back in the day, they would say to ingest some sulfur which would repel both skitters and ticks.
Don’t remember if it worked.
