I haven't read all the posts you received on this but one trick you may want
to try is "Bounce" - the sheets that you place in your dryer. When I was
working out west I used to spend the weekends hiking the Sawtooth mountains
and there were plenty of mosquitoes and other free-loaders that would take a
bit when they could.

We would wipe any exposed skin with one of those sheets and then wrap one
around each ankle under the sock. Worked like a charm and didn't need any
messy, oily sprays.

Now other products may be the same but I tried a local "house-brand" and it
did not work. I've heard others say the same thing so whatever is in Bounce
is what keeps the critters away.

Last night, all the mosquitos biting at my ankles chased me back into the
house.

Any suggestions on how to repel them other than Off! or similar products.
I just don't like putting chemicals on my skin unless absolutely
necessary.

How can I kick some mosquito butt?

Thanks!
