I live high up in a condo - I shouldn't have any insects. But this is what I have found to be 100% effective so far (at least during this winter period). Now, I may die from some form of carcinogenic lung cancer, but at least I'm not itching.

Re: Repelling Mosquitos
A few yearsago I saw some Australian made skin cream. It had two elements, a sunblocker and anti-mosquito. What a great idea.

Boots here in the UK do a similar product in their Soltan range, I use it when I fish around Europe in the summer months.oakdale160 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 5:57 am A few yearsago I saw some Australian made skin cream. It had two elements, a sunblocker and anti-mosquito. What a great idea.

There's a product that I've been using for years called Buzz Away. No chemicals. I think that iherb still sells it.

There's also an organic, chemical free, repellent available from Good Karma in Thailand. You can find them online.
Re: Repelling Mosquitos
Around a dozen years ago I left the UK shores to live in Cyprus where I had previously holiday'd for many years. On arrival in Cyprus one of my new neighbours (an eldery Cypriot Gentleman) suggested I take a 'Garlic' tablet/capsule daily as it will keep the Mozzies away. I took him to his word and to this day, in Cyprus (5 years) and here in Thailand (6 years) I have honestly not ever been bitten by those dreaded little monsters. I use the 'Odourless Capsules' although I'm sure that whatever variety you choose, it will give the same results.

Re: Repelling Mosquitos
That's true. Eating garlic also works. It may keep away more than the mozzies.robcar wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 10:11 am Around a dozen years ago I left the UK shores to live in Cyprus where I had previously holiday'd for many years.

Re: Repelling Mosquitos
Vampires also are repelled. Seriously I also eat a lot of garlic and mosquitos don't bother me. I don't take the pills, just eat raw garlic.handdrummer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 11:19 amThat's true.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
