They say because we had such an easy winter the mosquitos didn't freeze out and we are in big trouble! What do you use to repel them?
I have organic citronella oil. We use either that or TTO. So far it hasnt been bad for us.
When I lived in WI they were horrible. We would take vitamin B.
They haven't been too bad here...but everything else has! We have yet to find anything that really keeps them away...
I like to use all-natural products so I tried these Bugables from PIC. They are fun for the kids because they are stickers and they actually work! I just picked up some of their TWIST-IT's for the long weekend just in case to fight off pesky mosquitos when we eat outside on the porch. I would reccommend to anyone!
First of all - I will NOT use pesticides on my family! I use Renew lotion from Melaleuca and 5 drops of T36-C5 mixed in the lotion - the mosquitoes will still land on you but the use of the lotion mixture will greatly reduce the incidence of bites and the reactions that accompany them. You can also use 1/4 cup of MelaMagic, 1/4 cup of Tough & Tender, 2 capfuls of Sol-U-Mel and 5 drops of T36-C5. This has been used effectively in the rainforest, so it should work well for most of us. ( all of these products are from Melaleuca and are safe and non-toxic). I live in Florida and the lotion mixture works great for us - even deterring those nasty deer flies!!!
Good luck - hope this helps:)
Yellow soft drinks or dark?
