Mosquito repellents?

[phesina]

Thanks, Sandie and Ellie. CVS had the OFF!, but I got the CVS knockoff version, $2 cheaper. I'll see how that works, if the mosquitoes aren't rained out for the dinnertime visit.

Don't worry, I wouldn't spray it on Turk (the cat).

I was once stung by a wasp while calling the lines at a tennis tournament. I used the only thing available - home made lemonade - and it worked! took out the sting and the itch.

Hmmmm, interesting.. Thanks.

I'm not about to make some lemonade, but I do have a half a lemon!

Every time my kids went on camp, I bought yellow wristbands for them (rubber)
Those wristbands are impregnated with mosquito repellent.
They were wearing this the whole week, and all mosquitos stayed away from my kids!
You can buy these bands over the country in pharmacys. Maybe this also exists in the USA ??

when I get bitten by mosquitos, I put on some white vinger on the woud; No more itching!!

Those wristbands sound interesting... I wonder if they are available here. Thanks, Lut.

I'm going to take the CVS repellent back.. it's only 15% DEET, and apparently the real OFF! is 20%.

Tonight it is supposed to rain, and if it's still wet outside tomorrow, Turk probably won't want to go out. His Mom will be back on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm thinking maybe it's not worth it to get more of the stuff. He went out this evening, but I stayed on the porch and wasn't bothered by the mosquitoes.

I can send you one if you like! Take it your pharmacist (or drugstore) and show them saying "this is what I want!!"
Just let me know ok!, They are not expensive at all

I am using Citronella Oil, It is natural way much better that Deet.
