OK, here is the oddest thing I ever tried. Dryer sheets, yep the ones you use in your laundry. There are numerous reports online that say it is a myth and other sites say they work. So take it for what it is worth. Try a sheet or two one night, tuck them in your waistband and see what happens. My wife and I tried them last fall on a rather mosquito infested night. Not one bite the entire night. Rumor has it the scent of the sheet masks your normal scent and fooling the hungry mosquito. What the heck for a few pennies anything is worth a try.

Clear skies,

Here's what snopes says:

The way marketing people are, if there were any truth to it whatsoever, they'd be trumpeting it to high heavens. Dual use products are gold mines, ya know.

Reminds me of the SNL skit: "It's a floor wax. No, it's a dessert topping. It's both!"
