Muskol. Contains Deet. If you want the natural stuff, try Zero Bite.

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.  >:( >:( >:(

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?

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

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 :(
