They know I'm coming, so they're laying low. My secret is to get really drunk, then when the skeeters bite, they die of alcohol poisoning!I haven't seen a mosquito all day today!

Just got back and i have never had so many bites in my life. Those things are as big as vultures and just as hungry. They even got past our DEET Off. Our hotel finally sprayed Thursday night.
Once, I slept next to someone...we were both naked. In the morning, he had zero bites and I had 17!

I'm staying here in the swamps and it's really not bad at all. They started coming out around 7 tonight, barely any during the daytime. After slapping a few, I realized it was time for the spray. Off Deep Woods has been fine for me, they leave me alone. I have about 2-3 bites total in the four days I've been here.C R A P !! What hotel were you staying at?
I just purchased 4 boxes of OFF Deep Woods wipes on top of the 2 bottles of spray...and am seriously considering spraying my clothes !!! If that doesn't work, I'm using limes, too and just hope I don't get "the spots"
