 3M SRL-12 Ultrathon Insect Repellent Cream $10.00 Used this in Thailand on a recent trip and didn't get any bites where the cream was applied. Even after a full day in the woods the areas where cream was applied were protected, but the areas that I didn't do would get bitten. Also, it's a nice size to travel with and no aerosol to deal with.  3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent Pump (6 oz) $10.00 Over the years I have used various versions of Off, Cutters and many versions of repellant with differing amounts of DEET. Ultrathon has by far proven to be the most effective. I trusted this stuff to keep, possibly malaria ridden, mosquitoes off me when I went to Africa.  Stinger Insect Repelling Wristbands KK-4 $11.99 Work great with no chemicals--use them with my small children whom I do not like to spray with DEET. Mild odor is not noticed when worn on an ankle.  Pest Control Ultrasonic, 3 Pack $25.00 I bought my house last January and my neighbor had mentioned that they get mice every fall, so I purchased these as a preventive measure. November 2nd, and still no signs of mice anywhere I put them. |
