Spring Finally Here,
So what is your favorite Flying Biting Bug Spray?
About 30-years ago switched
from mountain/forest camping & hiking to Puget Sound boating.
With near steady wind and little to prey on the biting flies and
mosquitoes were few and far between.
Now am back in the woods
T@Bing
and soon the bugs will wake up . . . and if I'm in a crowd they
see
me as the
tasty buffet.
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) now recognizes several mosquito-repelling
ingredients as effective weapons in the war against insect-borne
diseases. In addition to DEET, there are four other chemicals – oil
of lemon eucalyptus, picaridin, IR3535, and 2-undecanone –
recommended for use on both skin and clothing.
Current plan is to use REPEL
or a similar non-DEET for general use but have a can of quality high
DEET % on hand, Coleman 40% DEET 'Sportsman', for those extra dense
bug areas.
Sound like a plan . . . of
going down the wrong brands/type path ? ?

Caveats - they don't work when there is a significant wind. They work best on the ground between every other chair when sitting in a circle around a campfire. New thermacell products are coming out all the time. Some have lights and some are more powerful. Be careful not to use them in enclosed spaces. It does emit a type of pyrethroid, so people sensitive to those need to be careful, as the chemical can be inhaled.
