We sleep with the overhead fan blowing on us, and tried spraying the room with bug spray before we went out for dinner, but it didn't help much. Any suggestions on how to keep from being bitten while sleeping?

I burn a mosquito coil in the room before going out for the night by the time I get back all is good. I also wear mosquito pants when sleeping just to be sure. Also put a towel on the floor against the door stops them from coming in at night.
If I could I would use dynamite to kill every last one of them. Yes you got that right "I HATE MOSQUITOES"

If you put a lit mosquito coil under your bed.....it keeps them away from the bed......or on either side of bed if it is too low.

Hello. Never stayed at Sunset but it looks beautiful. We did the pub crawl and picked a couple up there and they loved it. If we were gonna do an AI I believe I would stay there. Make sure you do the pub crawl. Its a great way to see the cliffs and meet others. We did the crawl with JoJo.last year

We use bug spray and mosquito coils religiously and have had no problems. We had a mosquito net over our bed last year and hubby nearly strangled to death on it as I lay laughing hysterically...

Hey Miss Honey, how are you doing, I thought about you all this past New Years Eve, I thought, hmm...what did I do last New Years...oh yea, I was on the One Love Bus in Negril with some
very cool peeps, plus WESTEND GIRL...WONDER HOW SHES DOING...HAPPY NEW yEAR !!

If you don't like deet, my man likes skin so soft. I like Colemans lemon and citronella.

Deet works. I thought I was seeing little fluff shards from plants floating around while on our veranda. No; they were tiny no see-um mosquitos. Deep Woods Off kept them away. Without the deet product; I was bitten a couple of times. Deet works. If you have something better that really, really works; let me know.

Big Frank; permethrin works wonders, but it has some potential down sides. Sawyer makes a product you use to treat your clothes/tent/mosquito net that lasts for six weeks and kills them dead on contact. You just have to follow the directions to the letter, and wait until things are completely dry before wearing/using them. I'm generally against chemical things, but it's not like deet is free of side effects...

Sounds like a good idea.

If your from Minnesota,you should know better. Mosquitoes are our state bird! 100% deet . 3-4 drops in the palm of your hand, rub them together, lightly rub your most vulnerable spots, wipe your hands clean on your clothes. Wash hands. Done deal. If you get bite, dont scratch it, it will go away.
