Against mosquitoes, that is. I went to The Ballpark last night hoping to make some shots around the facility but got attacked by the little vampires so had to make a hasty retreat. I'd already showered after my workout or else I would have doused myself in repellent. I love being out at night so you have no idea how much I hate those little buggers!

Your not kidding either, I can be in a room with 10 other people, and the ONE mosquito flying around will find me! I make Jeff hose our back yard with repellant and that seems to help a lot.

I have a death threat standing against any of the little bloodsuckers I find. It's working so far... now maybe I should venture outside and put it to the test.

John,

I hate those little critters too! Don't know what it is about me but they go for inside my ears and up my nose!!! Ugggh!!!<g> I have found that if I spray my hat (I always wear one when outside) liberally with OFF as well as my shirt collar, they stay away. If I'm wearing shorts I spray my legs as well, but I can take those bites better than the ones in my ears and face.

Best regards,

Take a look at C02-Octenol systems which can cover up to an acre.
