I loved that movie, of course anything with Barbara Bach in a fur bikini, whats not to like.

Charlie, I use CRC bug repellent, its made by the same company that makes my carb cleaner. Its 25% deet and kinda burns after you've had it on for a while, but it keeps ever bug away. its hard core stuff. My wife just got some bullfrog repellent/sun block for the kids, we'll see how it works this season

A lot of people use Avon's Skin So Soft. If you don't mind smelling like a french *****.

If you can find 100% DEET, it is the best...but you have to be careful with it...it will melt the handle on your fishing reel, burns your eyes like acid, and it tastes terrible...but works great.

I've never minded smelling a French *****.

And yes, Avon actually works great.

Oh, and do NOT eat a banana for at least a day before going out. Your body emits some of the chemicals in a banana through your skin and blood and mosquitos love the taste. It's actually an attractant.

And, BTW, NJ mosquito's are tiny, but are rated ahead of most, and are some of the most savage of all varieties. You haven't lived until you've become a meal for a cloud (literally, a cloud) of them.

is anybody else as proud of their skeeters as destroyer is?? never knew crc made bug spray. great idea randle. I understand acid is also good for keeping bugs away. only downside is you die when you put it on. I heard the avon stuff was good and I don't give a sh!t what I smell like as long as it works.
