What do you use to keep the mosquitos from making you their main course for

normal Off or other compounds containing Deet.


I find skin so soft pretty useless. Some people swear by it. Deet sprays
or lotions have been proven the most effective. If you can. try to find
any standing water and empty it. Kid's toys and plates under planter
pots are the biggest offenders. You could limit your gardening to windy
days. With the wet weather, skeeters are really bad along with every
other byting insect.
