What are you using on those Mosquitos?
« on: September 25, 2007, 03:39:00 PM »
Just curious to what everyone is using for those Mosquitos either sitting up in their stands or down on the ground moving around?  I personally have no idea besides the Therma cell on 3 rivers but that wouldnt seem to work if you were still hunting.

Sitting It's hard to beat a thermacell. Wally world has great prices on them as well!

Thermacell Rules! I used mine in Canada this year and when the bugs did get bad for me I watched them scatter when I turned it on!

Thermacell, even when still hunting. If the wind is blowing too hard to make it effective, it's probably blowing hard enough to keep the bugs off of you. 90% of the time that is   ;)

The heavy frost we had last night usually does a pretty good job too.

We had 13 inches of rain last week so we are using Theracell here in the yard while we practice. We have found nothing that works as well.

Another vote for the Thermacell. Early season is buggy up here and I've been impressed with the ones I've tried. For you flyfishermen, try hanging one off of the D-ring on the back of your vest   :thumbsup:

What LeRoy said.   No one in bear camp with a Thermocel had any issues with mosquitos.

I use a thermacell if sitting but I usually need some stuff to wipe on too. Deet's the best but I don't like it getting on my bows.  This stuff is like rub-on thermacell:

Well, I usually use a Thermacell, but with the drought in our part of Georgia, I've seen more deer than skeeters in my stands this year and haven't turned it on.  Granted, haven't hunted any swamps, just creek bottoms with running water.

I was wondering about them. They don't smell at all. Do the deer react to them any?
