    No-see-ums Solution

    What do you use to prevent the bites from the invisible no-see-ums? I don't loke using Off bug repellent
    or deet spray.

    DEET is the most effective. Picaridin is only as effective as low-percentage DEET products, but it is an alternative...http://www.brms.com/nattrapel-8-hour...FVBgMgodhE0AEg

    Citronella-based products are even less effective than Picaridin products.

    Make sure your DEET products have around 40 percent DEET for maximum effectiveness...

    When we go I use Skin So Soft body oil. I carry it in a spray bottle and use it right after each shower and I haven't had any problems with insect bites

    My wife is the best bug repellant I can use. After 10 trips I never get bit because she seems to (unfortunately for her) gets all of the bites. We can be together 24/7 and she'll get dozens of bites but none for me.

    white vinegar.

    and if you do get bites, white rum stops the itch.
