insect repellent, it works. Was swatting 3 and 4 at a time while setting up camp this weekend. Then I popped open a can of OFF (ignoring manufacture?s suggestion and just spraying it directly on exposed skin) and the skeeters were no more.
Anyone here know the "skeeter on my peter" song ? Not sure where I 1st heard it, but I have incountered so many that have never heard that should be campfire national anthem.
