Repelling Insects

[hubertstephen]

My dad always said after a thousand bites you wont notice them and he was right. also i have had great success with dull clothes, eating citrus fruits and avoiding bananas. It's pretty amusing watching someone going crazy flailing around with a cloud around them when i am a couple steps away from where they are, bug free.

Well,

Good on ya, hubertstephen. I've been chased by clouds of mozzies at Dease Lake, and didn't like it much at all!

The most amusing repellant I have bought was in Australia….. Terrific marketing!!

Wack-Off…..as used by the Australian Armed Forces

I can just imagine them training at it all together....

[JPA Cate]

Just regular listerine I just rub it on my skin

I use listerine too ... and it does relieve the itch and sterilize the wound which I have been subconsciously scratching for 20 minutes

Maybe you should try soaking the toast in the beer in the morning and spreading the vegemite on the itch. If it doesn't stop them biting maybe the smell will drive them away.
