It works but make sure to spray ALL of your exposed bits..

I was at a bbq the other night and used Deep Woods Off!

It worked quite well ... the only bite I got was on my left middle finger near the nail base ... very nasty place!:blink:

Other people found they were bitten through their clothes!
I once played field hockey and sprayed all exposed bits, but the buggers snuck behind me and bit though my hockey socks all over my calves! (Long Teeth!!!) :eek::curse:

Yep. Luckily, Canadian Hockey is not usually played in Mozzie season. :rofl:

There are other sprays, too. I prefer Muskol because it doesn't smell as bad to me. When you apply it, make sure you rub it around as well, and spray it into your hands to apply it to your face and keep your eyes closed till it dries.

The pump sprays are better for kids but are more expensive to buy.

I was always told brewers yeast helps keep them away but I don't think the yeast in beer does.. Found that most disappointing.:unsure:

I like Watkins anti bug stuff. It's a cream and doesn't stink as much as the sprays.
