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.

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.

In my former life as a field archaeologist in Florida and South Carolina DEEP in the woods we found that if it didnt have DEET in it, it wasnt worth crap. Sorry but the only thing "skin so soft" did was leave the mosquitos smelling like french *****s after they bit you.

Until we moved last year, we lived right across the street from the river. The little bastards swarmed about 2 weeks after any rainfall or flooding. Made it impossible to go out without some kind of protection. Avon worked fine, and was a lot safer than covering yourself with some chemicals. But for the last few years we lived there, the Off device was the repellent of choice. They do work really well. No device is perfect 100% all of the time, but the Off unit makes the occasional bite tolerable. My wife is very susceptible to mosquito bites, and she refused to go outside without the Off unit on her belt. Just make sure you have a spare refill or two handy, as well as extra batteries.
And no, I'm not proud of NJ having some of the worse mosquitoes around. Just pointed it out as a way of establishing credentials. Personally I wish every last one of those bloodsucking things died tomorrow.
