The Daily Fix: Ward Off Mosquitoes

Jun 3rd 2010 5:18PM I fished up in Canada for years. For misquitos we used skin so soft in a spray bottle. The nice thing is when you take a bath or shower. No stings and you smell good. For black flies the only thing that worked was head netting or Deet. The way we handled the deet was to wear a Greek type fisherman's hat and spray coat the bill of the hat as well as the back of the hat. Worked on a baseball style hat but not as good. I think it was because my fisherman hat was wool.
