Hehe, with the tongue sticking out like that, it looks more like you are going to a prison camp than anything. ;)

Re mosquitoes and other blood sucking insects like fleas. Don't know about ticks.

Get a cheap, generic brand of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine). Take 100mg daily and they won't bite you. It does something about the blood smell and they don't know you're there. Don't buy fancy health food store brands. Get generic. May make your urine brighter yellow and smell like the Vit B but that goes away after awhile.

If you're planning on going somewhere where you know there are mosquitoes, start taking it about a week ahead of time.

Thanks guys, and thank you O for the bug formula i will try it and see what happens.Got anything for spiders? (Wife hates spiders mostly). :lol
Where we go there are a lot of bugs but the managers of the park usually smoke out the skeeters every night. That seems to keep most of them down.Doesn't hurt to be prepared though! :)

Griatch i am sticking out my tongue at you guys cause you can't go.... :lol
Nah Nah Nah boo boo sort of thing. heheh.

Willy question - When have you ever been bitten on the tongue by a mosquito!?? - OUCHY!!!
Is your tongue pierced now?

I know this is uncool but it's true, the best thing I've found to kill spiders is to pee on them, not sure why but it kills them quicker than any canned spray. That just requires aiming, elevation and wind direction.

I will begin practice with cheerios in the toilet .. thanks GMS! :)
Guess i should probably use our stand up fan for wind purpose in tests.
Thumbs up to Cheerios for another great use of their product!

This also works for potty training boys (not girls sorry)

If you're really good you can hit them on the ceiling but a spray bottle works much better. If you have a few guys over and a keg your house will be completely spider free in a few hours. Wife free and kids free too but no spiders.
