    I'm inside because outdoor there are to much mosquitos, place is wonderfull, wild and with many trees but, as you can see from first picture we need to have a mosquito-net mounted on every windows because they don't leave you in peace.
    Consider that if I take my old time Vespa and drive for 5 miles, arrive on the coast where there are the beach and the Mediterranean sea.
    Yes, I 'm living in a nice place.
    Thanks

    Yes,I know that but isn't enought, you can take a shower with the Aerogard that they pic you at the same way, the lonely thing that play are the smoking spirals, usually I light a pair of this spirals on the terrace then I have 7-8 hours mosquitos free.

    Hmmm...Have you tried the yellow can? Tropical strength. Another option would be Bushmans. Don't know if you can get that over there though. Skeeters are a right royal british pain in the arse. Suck the fun outta life they do.

    Bushdoctor,
    We have our mosquito problem down here in the Everglades. I have always had success with these two products. If you don't mind the chemical DEET, then 40% or higher will do the job; if you want natural, the the Eucalyptus based Repel is great. I have never been bitten with the Eucalyptus on. It lasts more than 6 hours also.

    I thank you all for your suggest, I've try all kind of repellent in the past, but now I usually use this in pics because they work good here.
    Sorry for the OT.

    I remember using those coils on family camp outs quite often. Around the house I have some citronella oil candles that I use for the back porch to keep the skeeters at bay while we're out. The Thermacell is my favorite new invention. I mostly use it for early season scouting trips or when the fellows and I are camping but it's nice not having to spray down to keep free of the bites.

    In my opinion the best and most effective mosquito repellent is a good cigar.
