Has anybody got a sure fire way of stopping mosquito's from biting you. i feel like a pin cushion some times. It's like they have taken the whole family out for a 3 course meal at my skin/bloods expense. We have been here 18 months so it's not like we are fresh blood for them. the Aerosols and Citronella they laugh at that.. :curse:

1 part dettol mixed with 4 parts baby oil (or other oil). Nothing gets through it according to a mate I have who last weekend just passed his first whole year of camping non stop. He mixes it in one of those spray bottles you use for the ironing water. He said he enjoys passing the time watching blowies try and wipe their feet clean on his esky lid after landing on him.

I've heard other experienced campers give similar advice. Oh, and he reckons bushmans is the best regular mossie spray.

Bushman's do a strong heavy duty gel which works. However this summer (up here anyway) has been really bad for mossies and the husband can be outside and have about three different types of repellent on him and still be eaten alive. He's never suffered like this before. They don't bother me or the girls.

you need some insect spray with 40% deet. Make sure that you follow the instructions on the bottle.
