Anyone have experience with DEET-free insect repellants? |
|
As in, are there any that are effective?

1. OFF makes repellants w/o DEET. |
|
It works pretty well for me and mosquitos LOVE me! Only one or two will still hold their noses and sting me when I use OFF.

We have mosquitos with West Nile virus around here so I don't work outside without some insect repellant.

4. Canadian armed forces insect repellent |
|
Find a rock about 100 metres away. Spray it on there. Run like hell. All the mosquitos will congregate around the rock and won't bother you.

7. get a vial of patchouli oil from the hippy store |
|
no flying insect will come near you, and nobody else will either, unless they be hippy
(joking but this is pretty much true, patchouli keeps all that shit away)
