Re: MOSQUITOES

The only place we've had mosquitos is the one place we do not have a lot of anoles--the lath house. I think I'm going to try one of those pyrithrin [however it's spelled] bug bombs in the lath house one of these days.

I hear thunder. Maybe rain's on the way.

Well Kitty. it's true I have been trying to avoid DEET, but I may not
have a choice. I spend every evening and most of the weekend outside and
just have reached my tolerance level for being bitten on. Plus there's a
case of West Nile in Dallas already. I do not need that. Thanks for the
tip dear.

Pam,

If I just have a little to do outside, I just move fast and get done

quickly, while smacking them. Otherwise, I use Deep Woods Off - High Deet -

something you probably wouldn't want to use. I hate the smell so I have to

shower when I'm done.

&#65279;OK, before these monsters carry me off, what do y'all use for

mosquito

repellant?

I've been using the Avon Skin So Soft BugGuard plus w/ pretty good results

in

past

years, but this year?? Might as well sprinkle sugar water on myself and

glue

little

knives and forks to my skin and set the table. Whacked one tonight that

was

the

size of a small wasp. I don't know what the deal is but I'm getting eaten

alive.

I was spraying myself earlier and before I got done, they were landing on

me

and

biting. This has got to stop.
