Buzz-Off
Oil Bug Spray
Buzz-Off
Bug Spray is an All natural insect and mosquito
repellent that contains a blend of the worlds most effective
repellent essential oils and it works well for a large variety
of insects. Insects bothered by the Buzz-Off Natural Insect
repellent include mosquitoes, black flies, gnats and deer
flies to name a few.
I've
been told many stories of its effectiveness. I personally
tested this in the evening on my deck in Minnesota with shorts
on (bare legs) and it was a bit eary... but the mosquitos
would bounce off my legs and then fly away, I never got one
bite the whole time I was out there (about an hour).
As you
know it is important to protect yourself from mosquitoes and
other insects as they can carry West Nile virus and other
diseases that can be transmitted through insect bites.

Mosquito
Attractants
Use
this list of items and activities that attract mosquitoes as a list
of things to avoid or that can be used as bait to lure mosquitoes
away from you.
* Dark
Clothing
Many mosquitoes
use vision to locate hosts from a distance. Dark clothes and foliage
are initial attractants.
* Carbon
Dioxide
You give off
more carbon dioxide when you are hot or have been exercising. A
burning candle or other fire is another source of carbon dioxide.
* Lactic
Acid
You release more
lactic acid when you have been exercising or after eating certain
foods (e.g., salty foods, high-potassium foods).
* Floral
or Fruity Fragrances
In addition to
perfumes, hair products, and scented sunscreens, watch for the subtle
floral fragrance from fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
* Skin
Temperature
The exact temperature
depends on the type of mosquito. Many mosquitoes are attracted to
the slightly cooler temperatures of the extremities.
* Moisture
Mosquitoes are
attracted by perspiration because of the chemicals it contains and
also because it increases the humidity around your body. Even small
amounts of water (e.g., moist plants or mud puddles) will draw mosquitoes.
Standing water also allows mosquitoes to reproduce.
