Another good repellent is Listerine. Just put some in a spray bottle. I have used it for years on my decks and patio. (not on my body) It really does help. And if it doesn’t, they will at least have sweet smelling breath.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion (or garlic) a day keeps everyone away.
DFW has been getting too much, everyone else’s rain. All those huge dents from last week oughta be full of water and wiggletails.
Houston is happy to share their hummingbirds.
Vanilla extract works. Rig crews up here have used it for a skeeter repellent.
Don’t kill any dragonflies as they love mosquitoes.
For me, nothing short of high concentration DEET will do. The added bonus of DEET is that it actually causes pain to mosquitoes. The little blood suckers have their scent receptors in their feet and as they near a DEET covered surface, it hits them like a dose of pepper spray in the face.
For area coverage, I've discovered this...
...It's a lemon grass oil based fogger, that not only seems to work very well against Louisiana mosquitoes, but it's also pet safe and has a very pleasant scent.
Skin so soft from Avon will keep them away they hate it !
There’s a little known codicil in Obamacare about home remedies. We’re all on double secret probation!

When enjoying the outdoors I usually am drinking a beer.
The more I drink the less concerned I am about mosquito’s
Drink more beer!
I confess, I don’t know much about mosquito repellent, but I’ve been wearing shark repellent for years now every time I go swimming in a pool or Lake Michigan or in the bathtub, and I’ve never been attacked.
I’ve found that concrete works very well. If you have a large concrete pad, few mosquitoes will take the chance to cross over it. They much more love natural terrain, where they can dip down at will.
Garlic, eh? Now, when my wife complains about the reek (ambrosia to me) I have an excuse for why I bought that big jar of Kimchee at our local Asian food store. She does like Bulgogi, though, so I’m OK on the marinated beef surrounded whole fried cloves of the good stuff.
I grew up in MN (land of billions of mosquitoes )and now live in Dallas.....so many complain about the pesky mosquito around here and I can honestly say they rarely bother me, must be left over Minnesota mosquito mystic that overwhelms the Texan mosquito y’all....
we have this metal thing that water runs into and supposed to drain but there is always standing water in it so I throw a chlorine tab into that and no more mosquitoes.....
Lemon juice rubbed on me I tried the other day, and it seemed to work.
I have a small plastic bottle, about a quarter of it left.
Mil Sup. Probably Viet Nam stuff.
100% pure DEET.
Thing about DEET is the skeeters hate it so bad, you don’t even have to put it directly on your skin. Put a drop or two on your clothes. Works almost as good.
