[Atmob-discuss] mosquito season

[Steve Beckwith]

Dear Dr. Art,
I have used something similar to number 4 listed below.  However, rather
than using "Pennroyal", I've used "Pennzoil".  The little muzzies slip feet
can't get a grip and they slip write off.

P.S. It has also helped keep the rust away as I have aged.

Anyone have experience with any of these oils? Less obnoxious than DEET??



Five Ways to Prevent Mosquito Bites

The best remedy for itchy mosquito bites is to prevent them in the first 
place. Use these tips to help stay bite-free this spring and summer:

   1. Stay indoors at dusk when mosquitoes are out and about.
   2. Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved tops, and tuck long pants into
      your socks.
   3. Stay away from black and white fabrics, which seem to drive the
      little bugs wild.
   4. Try mixtures of essential oils, such as pennyroyal oil and
      eucalyptus. These are moderately effective if you're not dealing
      with really thick swarms of mosquitoes.
   5. In places like Alaska or Minnesota, where mosquitoes can be
      overwhelming, use insect repellants containing geraniol, a
      plant-derived compound, or Neem oil, from the Indian tree
      Azadirachta indica.
