Freaking Mosquitoes

[Craig Mac]

I'm in a condo with a small backyard ( 25x40') that shares 3 walls with other back yards. Will this stuff still work if I only spray my yard?

One of the departments here at my work is an Ace Hardware store so I asked about just spraying your yard and the guy said it should work just fine.

He also said definitely use the one that attaches to the garden hose as it lasts longer(up to a month). Here are some other Cutter products that they sell. The body spray($5.99), the wipes($6.99) and the Outdoor Fogger(2 cans around $12). The spray and wipes are fragerence free. The Outdoor Fogger cans are more for daily use.

I have a slight allergic reaction to mosquito bites. Mine swell up to twice the normal size and itch for weeks, not days. Most anti-itch creams and allergen meds last 20-30 minutes max. I can only stop them from itching if I bleed them!!!

Plus mosquitoes love me!! :inlove: No, seriously they love me! I can be standing in a crowded room of people plus 2-3 mosquitoes. By the end of the night I have 2-3 bites and every one else is unscathed. :

Don't ever visit Alaska or Minnesota in springtime!!

The way I handled it in MN was a lil breeze they wouldn't come out, if I was out fishing, lots of smoke from cigar would keep them away....But the best way to get rid of the lil SOB mosquito, I moved to SC, To freaking hot for the lil bastards here ....heheheheh

Perhaps this?

Damn, sounds familiar... I sort of have the same thing with mosquito bites. I got a mosquito bite in NY, on my eyebrow and i just felt how eventually felt my eyebrow go down... not sexy. The swelling went away till the very next day after i had put on creams and took a stupid pill that made me sleepy.

The little SOBs love me too! I fire up a bunch of citronella candles and that works pretty well. Once they do bite you, put a dab of spit on the bite and then salt it down real well. 20 minutes later, no more itch.

i use a thermacell when i go hunting here in SC. they work great! but you can also try and get your hands on some skinsosoft bug spray. I went on a trip to parris island a few years ago on a scout trip and they are the worst ive ever seen them. luckily our DI for the weekend was really cool and gave us a bottle of it. after only puttin that on once i wasnt bothered by them the rest of the day. i wish i could say the same thing about the DI...

check out the Thermacell. Its small and supposed to work. I have one for deer hunting, but haven't tried it yet

That's look rather interesting. Not to bad for the price either.

Outstanding! Thanks for the info brother.

LOL! I actually had thought of that!!! That's my last resort!!

I've tried the saliva trick, it works for a little while. Never tried the salt part. I'll give it a try! Thanks.

I've used skin-so-soft. I've found that it works sometimes, but not always. Much to the disappointment of my Grandmother. She sells Avon and swears by the stuff!!
