Is there a mosquito repellent that actually works?
I have literally lathered myself with this stuff and watched a skeeter land on it and poke me through a drop of cream that was on my hand.
It's impossible to enjoy campfires after dusk anymore

Dedicate a few sets of clothes for /out/ activities. Treat these clothes with permethrin. The treatment lasts for about a year and a half or 40 washes. Apply DEET based insect repellent to any exposed skin. I like the Off Smooth and dry.

For area mosquito control, Thermacells work very well but are a bit pricy.

I guarantee this works against mosquitoes even in the the highest bug population areas. Whether it's bad for your heath is another thing only because I would think the mainstream repellent companies would want to copy their formula since it works so well, but they don't.

DEET and Permethrin are the only things that work

Yeah but the retards on this board don't trust DEET because it gives them cancer or something

DEET is good stuff but I learned the hard way that it will screw up the lens on your brand new watch

It was a gesstemate. I'm using the Insect Shield treatment. They say it should provide 6 months of exposure. If you store threated clothing in a bag in a dark closet they say the treatment can last more than 10 years. It's exposure to wind and UV that degrades it. So I wash it and then put it into a stuff sack in my closet until my next /out/ing. I send them in about every year and a half to be re-treated. It's expensive, but effective.

I live in a muggy hell hole surrounded by rice fields, which means thick, persistant mosquitos.. The best repellant I've ever used (and i've tried MANY, mind you) was the 40% DEET lotion.. It was only available for a few years and now you can only get 34% DEET lotion.. believe me, that extra 6% makes a world of difference.. If you ever happen to come across the strong 40% stuff, buy every bottle you can and hord it.
