I was just out in the garden and had to run for cover after about 30 seconds. It was a skeeter ambush.
I like to fish tidal swamps, and this stuff is as good as any other repellent, it's not all slimey and oily, doesn't feel gross and smells decent. I can use it for a lunchbreak fishing trip, and not gross out my coworkers when I gat back into the office.
I hate those skeeters!
There are may products which repel mosquitoes on humans. A new product by the makers of OFF spray. It is a device you wear on a belt loop and the aroma of OFF is spread around by a fan. Going to try it. Also found a yellow bracelet in the AmeriMark.com catalog which has an aroma of citronella, which repels mosquitoes too. There is a + 2 inches or more of water in our reserviors and some periodic downpours. One of the advantages of less rain is fewer mosquitoes.
I just ordered some sticky patches for my cap that should help cut down on the population of the little vampires.
The chipmunks got through the chicken wire fence and ate all the leaves off the squash plants I just put in. The plants seem to be alive. I sprayed them with Safer Soap hoping it will not taste good. Anyone know how to prevent chipmunks from eating the garden?
