Thermacell is now available at most Walmarts. Convenient and effective, but you gotta keep buying refills.

Worth it!


Were they in the sporting goods dept at Walmart?

Bring a fan. Skeeters and knats avoid a stiff breeze.


I agree... We have a small 12 box inch fan that we sit near us while sitting outside. If they get too bad, thats what the inside of the MOHO is for..

I've got a thermocell which works pretty well. I also have found that by using an oscellating fan outside, it keeps the skeeters away as they won't fight the breeze.

I use Cutter's BackYard at home (dispense via garden hose attachment) and it works well for several weeks.

Some say Avon's Skin-so-soft is a great deterrant. (I can't use it due to allergies).

I have had good luck with skin-so-soft, on skeeters, but can personally attest that it does nothing for ticks.
