Gadget keeps you bug free without smelly spray

by Sherry on July 7th, 2008

When I went camping last month, it was prime mosquito season and we were right in the middle of thick woods on the edge of a lake. All that meant we all smelled like Muskol for four straight days, and we still came home with bug bites galore. I had so much spray on me that it took two applications of shampoo when I got home to rid myself of the smell.

I wish I had known about this Solar Mosquito Repeller that I could have purchased for $14. It clips to your belt, recharges in the sun, and it keeps a bug-free zone of 1-2 meters around your body.

I have no idea how well it works but considering how many bites I got even with the spray, I’d certainly be willing to try a little bit of electronic wizardry to keep the darn mosquitoes away! If your travels include a family getaway to the campground, it might be worth looking into. If it works well it would also be a wonderful option for children who are too young for the chemical sprays.

After the only partial success of the Muskol, my next thought was to just walk around with a can of Raid so maybe I’ll look into the Solar Mosquito Repeller first!

    Someone told me an old military remedy too. Just drink Vinegar diluted in Cranberry juice. I don’t know… what do you think? Well, in any case, this spray could very well save someone’s life (or patience) on a trip abroad.

    Thanks again,
