#Mosquito control experiment status: #eucalyptus #lemon oil #repellent works, and doesn't melt plastic like #DEET -- however, need to change clothing between inside and outside, otherwise you fill up any small enclosed spaces with eucalpytus lemon oil and you start choking on the fumes. Yes, my pants were rapidly deployed outside (I put on other pants, don't worry).

Interesting, #lemongrass oil (which is an attractant to bees) appears to be a somewhat effective repellent for #mosquitos -- might try that, as #DEET seems to dissolve Crocs 😬 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4027311/

This is the best #EnvironmentallySafe #MosquitoRepellent I've ever used. #Mosquitos don't really like me but they like my son and my partner and this stuff works. Best part is it doesn't contain any #Deet

Ithan Creek, PA

I needed to get out, so I did 😊

I spent a lot of time trying to take nice pictures while mosquitoes were hitting on me, although they did not bite thanks to DEET and permethrin-treated shirt 😀 Much better on the water, but on the trail, I basically needed to jog 😅

This creek runs along I-476, but once I am on the water, the freeway noises disappear, and all I can feel is a beautiful creek in the wood😊

"...four active ingredients are scientifically proven to work on mosquitoes.
...if a mosquito repellent includes one of these active ingredients then it should prove effective as long as it is applied "like a sun cream" to all exposed skin."

🦟 Can we prove mosquito repellents actually work? What kind is best?

Even mijn nachtparfum op. #AntiMug met flinke dosis #DEET dus. Rotbeest...

Conshohocken, PA

This place got additional soccer fields recently. Due to recent weather, this drainage area has been filled with water for a while. This big water puddle has no fish, but a lot of bug activities 😉 It may dry up at some point. It seems to be a large mosquito incubator 🤔 These mosquitoes attack me every time I come here for my son’s soccer training 😑

I could actually do fly casting practice, although I need a lot of DEET😅

Myoga, Japanese ginger

Watering plants at the most important corner of my backyard, where I have Myoga 😉 They are growing well, hopefully providing us with nice condiments 😋

When I do yard work, I tend to have beer, which makes me a better target of mosquitoes 🤔

DEET didn’t work, my old permethrin-treated t-shirt didn’t work 🥲 I need to get new treated shirts for fishing (I got many bites during fishing)🤔

Gratis produkt idé. Sol og mygg osv... middel. Faktor 50UV beskyttelse med Mygga med 50/100 DEET I en spray #produktIde #sol #mygg #sunAndBugs #deet

Nächste Frage: gibt es einen #Sonnenschutz Faktor 30-50, der gleich #DEET 50% mitbringt und so gestaltet ist, dass sich die Wirkstoffe nicht gegenseitig beeinflussen?

While my son is in a soccer training session - I got even more ready to go into the bush - fly fishing 🤩

I often spend more time bushwhacking, hiking, and walking than actually fishing while fly fishing 🤔

I spray DEET on my hat every I go into the woods 😊
