has been used
in Europe for years. Picaridin is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)
for use against malaria
-
carrying mosquitoes.
Picaridin is registered for use on the human body and clothing to repel biting flies, ticks, chiggers, fleas,
and mosquitoes.
Picaridin both repels and deters insects, so that insects move away from the chemical
and do not feed if they encounter skin or clothing that has been treated. Picaridin applied to cloth
deterred insects from
biting
through the cloth to the skin.
²
Picaridi
n repels insects and makes them less
likely to bite.
It seems to block mosquitoes from sensing their prey. Picaridin does not kill insects.

In southern Maryland, the "skeeters" aren't too bad this year. Maybe it's because we have not had any rain in over a month and everything is dried up and dying.

 

The minnesota state bird is vigorously putting the bite on one and all around here

enjoy your bug freedom Chip

 

I've still got a few bottles of the old 100% DEET Muskol. Nothing better.

 

muskyol

is that the stuff that melted my tackle box in the 80's???
have not seen tried that cratur since then

i like the new spray better

 

That's the stuff. Have to be careful or it'll wipe the label right off the bottle. Nothing better for the bugs tho. A little on the cuff of your pants, jacket and the bill of your cap .. maybe a little on your collar too. Nothing would come near.

 

try the horse / man
centaur spray

no DEET

fine for plastics and youngsters too

 

Bullfrog has always been reliable for me -- bug repellent + sunscreen. Lived in South Carolina for a year and Norfolk for 3, in both places I had to mow the lawn and using that stuff was a night/day difference when compared to using nothing.

 

I will if I see it. Not a lot of horses in downtown montreal tho.

 

The skeeters are packing a canteen around here. They haven't done anything so far this year but I'll keep that product in mind should things change....Tedd

 

Eating a socially unacceptable amount of garlic works .
