Re: Help Mosquito Bites
Does anyone else think the lil biters are on the wane? Last week they were positively banging on the car windows when i was parked out at Calaway waiting on the sprogs. Yesterday I was able to open all the windows and doors while I waited and didn't see one!

Re: Help Mosquito Bites
[QUOTE=Janietrz]Not sure if this will help, but I was told this from my daughter who works with horses, that they give horses marmite so they dont attract Mosquitos and get bitten as much ,
Wow...marmite, I will be giving that a go....I have also heard that you should avoid Bananas!! not sure if that works but anythings worth a go to keep the little Buzzers away,
Jen
ps Tony wanted to know do we eat the marmite....or spread it on ourselves!

Re: Help Mosquito Bites
Rubbing garlic cloves on yourself actually keeps the mozzies away but not for very long- not as long as the smell lasts 
. Orange peel or any citrus fruit's peel works but also doesn't last long. Try peeling an orange around mosquitoes and they won't go near you. I found Muskol to be the best based on my tree planting days in northern Ontario. Just don't get it in your eyes though - very painful.

You could try and spread it on, fake tan effect maybe?,lol, but I think its meant to be eaten.
