anybody know of some good bug repelant. out here in the wack it's bad. some suggestions would be nice. i use to get some stuff from am-way years ago, i think they ban the stuff. it sure worked good though.
-
skin so soft from avon works great( don't laugh it's true) and the little blood suckers are bad every where.
-
Muskol. Contains Deet. If you want the natural stuff, try Zero Bite.

Muskol.

Go to a loggers store and get the bush repelent it's 99 % deet!
-
I remember this stuff years back. I think it was heavy deet action and thus probably why you cant get it anymore. Im just using OFF! but find it needs to be reapplied frequently.
They're sure bad this year. >:( >:( >:(

watkins, wicked stuff if u find it

The best repelent is urine. ??? My science teacher way back in highschool told us whenever he goes backpacking with his wife they take turns urinating on each other before they venture in mosquito infested territory. Urine is 100% guaranteed to repel all biting bugs, so I was told.
Personally I'd rather use off.
Some of you might want to give it a try and report back. lol

Pretty kinky teacher if you ask me. :D
-
camphor oil works wonders.
-
nothing beats products using DEET. I have tried many different brands with and without deet and all the natural non deet products were crap in places with tons of bugs. OFF or Muskol would be the way to go.

Any idea on where there might be such a store in the lower mainland? My stock of 97% deet deep woods off is almost gone :(

I'm guessing that Deakin or 3Vets would likely have some :)

Vicks Vap-o-Rub works really well. Its cheap, effective and it spreads out well. It smells better than DEET and is less harmful. DEET is a very harsh chemical that is used in variety of things such as LICE SHAMPOO!!!!. It has been shown to damage neurons in the brain and cause muscle malfunction and loss of coordination. Not good for fisherman or anyone thats for sure. Give 'er a try.
