How do I repel mosquitoes and other bugs?


Question Posted Tuesday June 2 2009, 1:25 am

I really need to know how to repel mosquitoes from myself. I heard there were some natural ways involving some sort of vitamins or garlic but I am not exactly sure what the correct information is.

My mom said they made some stuff to spray on you that repels bugs but I don't know what it is called or anything.

Can someone help me? These bugs are eating me alive already and I don't want to get West Nile Virus!!! How do I protect myself from the West Nile Virus when these mosquitoes don't stop biting?!

I'm pretty sure OFF! just came out with this thing that hooks onto your clothing. It has a bug repellant inside of it that lasts for 12 hours & acts as a shield against bugs. It's better because you don't have to spray anything on so there's no mess or feeling gross. :)

I'm not sure what it's called, but I'm sure you could search their website or something. :)

My personal favourite is called Muskol. It's got a higher content of the actual repellent than most other sprays. It's also a little more expensive, so I only use it when I'm off in the woods or swampy areas.

Otherwise, OFF! Skintastic works great. It comes in both a spray and a lotion, and it smells pretty good.

Skin So Soft by Avon is the best one by far. My mom and I used to go camping a lot and she reacts badly to bites so she always uses this one and it's very effective. It also smells quite nice, unlike most bug repellents =]
