RE: Mesquitoes
I treat my clothes (ScentBlocker also) with permanone. Hunting a river bottom in Georgia, I have little problem with mosquitoes. I also use deet around the exposed parts of the face. Generally the mosquitoes keep their distance from me for a week or more. I think that permanone is designed to kill instead of repel. Be sure to treat your clothes and allow it time to dry before you put wear them.

RE: Mesquitoes
You guys are going to laugh when I tell you what type of bug spray I use. It's made by Avon, it's called Skin-so-Soft with Bug Guard. This stuff really works. Every May I head to the east coast and do some spring gobbler hunting, the mosq. like my tanned Cali skin. I've never been able to find a spray that works. I now use skin-so-soft lotion with SPF15 and it works great. Not to mention my soft skin as well. lol..lol..lol...

RE: Mesquitoes
The bugs here in the Southeastern part of Virginia are terrible this year. I found the bug spray at Walmart in the sporting goods section that does a great job. It has a picture of a deer on it and it does not give a scent off.
