    Default Whats the best Mosquito Repellent?

    Those bugs are driving me nuts this year. Are some really better than others? Looking for opinions, thanks

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Funny how someone with the name DEETz is asking about Mosquito repellents.

    Go for the one with the most DEET Deetz.

    It'll get better near Stampede Week .. it seems the city always ramps up the spraying around that time to keep the tourists happy.

    I wouldn't overdo it with the DEET unless you want cancer really badly.

    I think they are attracted to like CO2 or something, or maybe they want a "buzz"

    but Muskol FTW!!! Most bugs stay away from you completely..
    Curse you imageshack..

    So....is the risk of DEET causing cancer worse than the rick of cigarettes causing lung cancer?? SInce Im getting manhandled by the mosquitos, maybe I should take up smoking

    Watkins makes a cream or spray repellent full of Deet, works great. If you buy the cream it lasts forever. It's about $15.00 a bottle.

    There are several Watkins Dealers in town, usually during the summer months they have booths in the mall.

    If I am just around the house I cover a pair of old shorts and shirt in repellent, those become my summer around the backyard clothes.
