Skin so soft from Avon will keep them away they hate it !
Vitamin B-1. 50 mg in the AM and another 50 in the PM everyday during skeeter season.
When I was in Marine boot camp in Parris Island, SC, the mosquitoes were brutal and our drill instructors recommended that we have our family send us Avon Skin-so-soft.
I must say that my father was wondering just what sort of outfit his son had joined!
The stuff did seem to work well.
A few years ago, I put some bat-houses in the woods behind my yard - that seems to have cut down on the mosquito population quite a bit. Wish there was a way I could breed dragonflies. The average dragonfly will consume up to 50 mosquitoes a day.
