We are ppl who live in the country, woods. The mosquitos are just insane this year. Tried to pick berries this morning and I had them swarming my head. I had clothes on from my neck down to my feet to try to help...didn't help. Not even fun to be or play in the yard for me & my kids. Go out there anywhere in our yard or down the driveway you get mosquitos by you. Yes, I know they are inevitable since we live in MN, but seriously.
Thanks much.

HATE mosquitos. They freak me out! One mosquito bite and I'm done outside. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Do have the strong repellent? I usually don't have trouble if I've got the repellant on BUT that stinks too.

We have plenty of replellant, but I am one of those ppl who cannot stand the smell of it. That is the smae w/ sunscreen, but I do use that, but I have to wipe my hand off right away w/ baby wipes or something.
I am ready to go get some tiki torches or spray the yard or just about anything right now. My berry picking got cut short b/c of those dumb bugs.

I love the clip on things. They don't smell, you don't get gressy. There not cheap but for me they are worth the price.

Hi Jodi, I don't know what spray works the best ahead of time, but... Have you tried "StingEze" for after you get bit? It works great for me, and they have a kids one too. www.stingeze.com/stingeze-products.html

I have not tried any mosquito net clothing. I suppose it is worth a try. I have tried the stingeze products works good.

We do the clip on things too. This year I found a bug repellant made by burts bees. It does not smell nasty like other sprays. It worked better then any of the other harmful sprays. We were impressed this weekend!
