Best mosquito spray

[WW]

What is the best brand of spray you have found ? I tried some Cutter last weekend and it was like candy for mosquitoes. Also had some Repel witch worked, but not the best in the world.

Muskol 100% DEET. I don\'t even know if you can get it anymore. potent stuff

 

[Swede]

I had some high concentrate Deet years ago. It would destroy some plastics, but was very effective as a bug repellant. I don\'t think it was 100% Deet, but it was much better than Cutters.

thermacell is lower elevations. nothing beats them, they are awesome. but mine didnt work with the steroid sized skeeters in the mountains, not sure if is a o2 issue or just bats flying around instead of skeeters.
100 percent deet will take care of it, but its hard to find

 

[Deertick]

Thermacells work great, but, come to think of it, I haven\'t used them in the mountains.

For me, DEET.

I\'ve been using this this year for the first time and I\'m a believer. This stuff works like a charm and is all natural no deet. They can\'t keep it on the shelves around here. Good stuff give it a try.

As long as I apply it liberally on clothing, shoes, hat, face, and neck, it works well in the mountains. If you miss a spot, you will be bitten. Try applying to the back of clothing before putting on the clothing.

This is not 100% Deet, but it\'s as close as we can get now. Nothing seems to work for me other than strong Deet.

I have had good luck with this permethrin stuff for ticks and skeeters during turkey season. I have not tried the maxi deet they offer.

WW, I\'ll send you some of my chili with extra beans - that\'ll keep EVERYTHING away usually through the morning hunt!

100% Deet if available. I hadn\'t had much luck with the Skin So Soft but works for my wife.

The permithin(sp?) I thought was just for clothing. At least I used to spray my clothes with it when hunting in OK to kill/repel the ticks/chiggers but not for mosquitos.

 

[getemduck]

Yes i just spray the permethrin on my clothes but it does repel skeeters as well.

 

[americanbwana]

On my latest trip I sprayed Permethrin on my pants and long sleeve fishing shirt.

At the trail head I sprayed myself down with Repel Family 23% deet (it was in the truck), and used Ben\'s 30% wilderness spray and wipes in the field.

The only place I got bit was on my bum while answering the call of nature.
