bug screens

outdoorgirl · 08-28-2009, 09:24 AM

Where we go camping, there can be a lot of bugs. It actually depends on the time of the season and if it has rained a lot or not. I often see people walking around with bug screens on their heads.

Do you use these?

I don't use one. I just suffer through the bugs. I complain while I am suffering. You would think I would just go out and get one..lol

use Repel 100.
It's 100% DEET. (no, it doesn't burn the skin)

I live in SW Louisiana. We have mosquitoes the size of pigeons and horse flies the size of eagles. They don't care about deep woods OFF, but Repel 100 works, even in the swamps.

I have never heard of Repel 100. I will have to look for that next year. Do they sell it in the regular stores or is this something you need to order?

Personally, i'm against the repellent something about cancer causing agents turns me off. I'd say get screens so then you at least have the choose.
