Default These things are the shizzle <skeeters>

I am posting from my smartphone so I can't post pics. If someone will volunteer I'll text a picture.

It's a little yellow spiral piece of plastic, about three or four inches across that smells kind of lemony. I bought it from Walmart in the camping section. It costs about a dollar. You hang it up anywhere outside and it repels Mosquitos and other biting insects.

This is the third time I've used it. It is good for several days. Darned things really work. I'm not going to buy outdoor fogger anymore.

Where were you with this a couple months ago? Skeeters have been so bad we rarely used the back deck at all this year.

I just found out abt them... couple or three weeks ago. It's like somebody served every flying insect at my campsite with an eviction notice. Serious.

If I did my guzzendas correctly, one lasts over nine days.

Every now and then I see something flying but it seems that getting the heck out of dodge is more on its agenda than finding a spot to bite me.

The last campground I visited had a plethora of Mosquitos. I hung one on the campsite's clothesline and when I left four days later I still didn't have a bug problem.

I left it hanging there.

I wonder if they work for repelling biting flies. We can't use sprays or lotions when we're fishing because the oils get on the lures and kill any chance of catching fish.

It would be cool if I could hang a few on the boat to keep the flies away!

Be sure to handle them with gloves. The smell of the oils is on my hands.
