Apple cider vinegar?

Sticky much spraying that on yourself?

[RealNick]

Yeah but you smell delicious

[Aussier]

CBF with all that to be honest.

Is bug spray so bad for you? I've never had any irritation from it.

[Westy]

I find putting a little Dog s**t on your hunting partners shirt in the morning seems to keep the flies off me and all over him!!!! And you can get it for free also!!!!!LMFAO

Haha Westy, tried and tested.

As far as Mozzies go, I am the honey pot so to speak for the little shytes. Maybe I give off allot of CO2 and warmth.

Was sitting in Williamtown/ Newcastle last year and getting drained by Mozzies. Surrounded by marshland. Usually use 'Bushman' or 'OFF' brand pump spray with orange label / cap... The OFF wasn't working too well so OFF! had a different meaning that day.

Had a brain wave. Added about an inch long squeeze of 'Deep Heat' to the last 50ml of 'OFF', shook it up and

VOILA !!! Mozzies came close but didn't land. Not really home made but it worked which is a nice change.

Go hunting/camping with a woman

Every woman I know gets hammered with mozzies while the blokes aren't getting a bite.

Better tasting blood in the ladies apparently, keeps them off us

[melanie]

That's definitely true

I get eaten alive by them while my partner is oblivious that they're even there.

[saucy]

I see people putting on mozzie repellent in a kitchen.

Lets see them sitting outside at night with a table lamp and I'll believe it works
