Yours to a summer free of mosquitoes.
I haven't personally tried any of these remedies, so don't
know if they work or not. Sending your way for what it's worth. Yours to a
summer free of mosquitoes.

Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October . He
said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.Vitimin B-1( Thiamine
Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat bananas, the mosquitos like you, -- something about the banana oil as
your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos
will be much less interested.
This is going to floor you, but one of the best
insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's
Vaporub.
Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do not
like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without using
insecticides.
"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that the
very best mosquito
repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half
with alcohol.
One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered is made from the
clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works
great for mosquitoes and ticks,don't know about other insects.
When all else fails--get a frog
Fight West Nile..pass this along to all your friends in skeeter land!!!
