Bring Good Mosquito Spray

[Newdiv]

Don't forget that if you do get eaten alive white vinegar will nuetralize the itching.

The mosquitos hit a fevered pitch today. One unprotected person in our group killed 3 with one slap just crossing the courtyard.

But saw the truck spraying in town this afternoon so there is hope...

The spray trucks have been spraying in my neighborhood every night for awhile - I hear them every night - but truly it's like trying to stop a freight train

Has anyone seen Thermacell refills available in Cozumel? Would be nice to have one sitting on a balcony without having to use spray. I am pretty sure flying with the butane fuel they use would not be possible.

It doesn't have to be DEET - I have never been able to find ANYTHING with or without DEET to keep them off of me until now. This is what I use - non toxic, natural ingredients and doesn't smell bad. Comes from a company that's been around for over 30 years. I was skeptical but it totally works. I will have some extra bottles in the next week. PM me if you're interested.

Christi, I arrive in Coz today and would like to try out the mosquito spray. Do you have any in stock?

Thanks,

Stan

Please get this under control by June 16, 2018 when ScubaBoard comes back to Coz for it's next invasion. Dave... I owe you a dive!

You can also find DEEP 100. It works great. Just spay it on.

You may enjoy clicking on my link in my post # 8 on page 1. After proceeding to the Consumer Reports article, and clicking on the "Buying Guide" link, you'll find the following:

Deet
Many people assume that the more deet (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) a product contains, the better. But our tests found that products with 15 to 30 percent deet can provide long-lasting protection against mosquitoes and ticks. And some research suggests that higher concentrations and excessive doses can pose risks, including rashes and possibly even disorientation and seizures.

That’s why we say you should avoid repellents with more than 30 percent deet and not use those products at all on babies younger than 2 months. (See below for how to safely apply all repellents.) But make sure you don't go too low: The product in our insect repellent ratings with just 7 percent deet didn’t work well.

Edit to add: You reach the ratings page by clicking on the "insect repellent ratings" link above.

Don't worry too much. Once all the blood is gone they stop bitting.

Personally I buy 100% DEET and cut it down with water to 50%
