Location: Long Prairie, Minnesota | I use Off with Deet. Works great.
Just remember to spray yourself down away from your screens of your GPS/locator units. The bug spray will eat the screens away. |

Location: Sun Prairie, WI | Any brand with at least 25-40% DEET. Deep Woods Off has 25% DEET, I believe, and it works well for me.
There are some liquids (not sprays) out there with 100% DEET but I don't know how well it works. It comes in a tiny bottle. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | With the 100% stuff, it's best to spray clothing and not skin. DEET's some nasty stuff. That's why I likes the Deep Woods Off mentioned above, you can spray bare legs & feet with it. m |

Location: Chicago | There was a guy at the Palatine show selling some natural (Deet free) bug spray I think it was made with peppermint oil? Any body use or have an opinion? P.S. sorry to stray on the question. |

| FYI, do not spray it around your electronics. It will ruin your screen. |

| Best stuff aroud is made by Robinson Labs for hunting. It's called "No Stinkin Bugs" It has a red can and Gander Mountain or Sportsman Warehouse carries it. The Thermocell also works AWESOME!! |

| i've been using Repel with Lemon Eucalyptus and it works great keeping the mosquitos away.
i like it because it doesn't leave you sticky and smells nice (lemon) instead of like normal bugspray.
one limitation is that it doesn't keep biting flies away, i carry some Deet spray for the ankles on sunny black fly days.
