screw bug repellent. can we get something that actually kills all bugs on contact?

[wiccawaccamofo]

alright people.. from someone who lives and works in the bush northern ontario in prime bug season - 1. DEET is god. use and love it - or hate it and get eaten. Muskol oil is best - OFF! doesnt work as well and wont protect against hords of blackflies. pugzlie was right when they said body odour is an amazing bug repellant - the worse you smell the less likley you will be eaten alive. shampoo's and deoderants will make you a target. to the point - dont wash, and use liberal ammounts of deet.

[blueshoals]

Lack of body odor, or presence of a certain type of odor can make you "invisible" to insects.

If somebody can correct me I would be grateful, but I think proper amounts of vitamin b help.

[pugzlie18]

actually body odor is the best insect repellent and it been proven by science

[mszs]

I did not say that. He tested one repellent and that worked. To say that repellents work sounds a bit too generalized to me!

[Deviantidol]

Mszs, are you saying that deet isn't an insect repellent that works? Whenever I go camping, I always spray deet in different concentrations and they have saved me from getting even more mosquito bites as this guy.

[mszs]

To be precise, there is at least one repellent that works. To say, repellents work is incorrect because many do NOT work!

Also, aren't there household recipes that take care of the itching?

Nice job....

that reminds me of one summer at a cousins' house, when we spent the night on their trampoline. they were fine. I, on the other hand, looked like a plague victim.
