        <![CDATA[ This year in the North Country we seem to be having a banner year for mosquitoes. I&#39;m a firm believer in DEET. I use Ben&#39;s 100 percent DEET. It&#39;ll
probably kill me, but it&#39;s better than ending up in the nut house from the Black Flies, mosquitoes and midges. My coon hound on the other hand is going
nuts herself. Any good non-tox  bug dopes for dogs out there? Might even use it myself on those light bug days.

			<description><![CDATA[ ...at first I thought the topic was fly floatants, so I&#39;ll throw in my 2 cents on this too. The makeup remover cream that is called Albolene that you can
buy in bulk at the pharmacy is as good or better than Gink and a whole lot cheaper. I still have several bottles of Orvis Superfloat which is great, but they
had to stop selling it a few years back because of the carbon tetrachloride I think. The powder called Frogs Fanny is really a great fly drier. If you
haven&#39;t tried it, buy some... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I fish on the Manistee in Michigan, and will be heading up soon for the Hex Hatch at night. The mosquitos are the size of small birds, the big brown striped
ones, and I rely on a Patagonia canvas shirt, my Mosquito Annoyer and citronella &amp; mint based oils to do the job. I&#39;ll lite up a stogie when they form
a cloud around me, but I have been DEET free for several years now and okay. When those big brown trout are rising, you don&#39;t even notice them skeeters! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Since I have to use both sunscreen and insect repellent, I&#39;ve been happy with Bullfrog Mosquito Coast--it has both. In addition to a SPF 30 sunblock, the
product contains a DEET-free repellent that&#39;s designed to be applied to the skin. Many reviews of Mosquito Coast rate the repellent component more highly
<br>
than the sunblock. Here in the part of SoCal where I live, mosquitos are not a huge problem, but the threat of West Nile Virus makes it necessary to take
precautions. This... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I take a yearly trip up to the AuSable in Northern Michigan where the skeeters can get pretty bad. My host always puts on the Deet but not only is it hostile
to the bugs and you, it will absolutely melt fly lines, waders or anything else that has a plastic base. I experimented one year and found that the &#39;Buzz
Off&#39; series of clothing will work out of the box. I think it&#39;s made by Ex Officio but they&#39;ve licensed the tech to a lot of other companies. My
stuff came from LL Bean.... ]]></description>

avoid putting it on!  Living in Minnesota where the Mosquito is the state bird that can be problematic.  Smoking worked pretty well but since I gave it up 18
years ago I&#39;ve been in quite a fix, until I came across the <strong>MOSQUITO ANNOYER</strong> by William Joseph.  <a target="_blank"... ]]></description>

Up here in Southeast AK, nothing seems to work on our gnats and no see ums when the wind is not blowing except a bug net and finger mitts These are much more
effective than chemicals, with no harm to fly lines, people, birds, fish and their food webs.

			<description><![CDATA[ I have had really good luck using Sevin dust for ticks on dogs and my own clothing. Put it in an old gym sock and dust your boots and cuffs with it. Also dust
your dog in the same manner.
<br>
<br>
As far as mosquitos go.....I have not found anything that works like DEET (unfortunately).

The Airline I work for has started flying extensively into Africa (already have a fly fishing trip lined up with a fly shop from Johannesburg), so mostquito
repellent has become a recent priority... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The only thing that seems to work for me is good ol&#39; Muskol, but I&#39;m told that its high DEET content can just incinerate your liver. Considering the
abuses the poor old thing has already suffered I&#39;m reluctant to continue using the stuff. Out here the skeets can infect you with what&#39;s called West
Nile Disease, which is no fun at all. So, it&#39;s either liver destruction or possible meningitis. Delightful. ]]></description>

I don&#39;t like because most stuff I use only will last for an hour or so and seems like it wears off. Here in the hill country of Texas tics that may carry
Lime disease scare me the most and the Deet is the solution. But them damm sceeters is a problem..............Hope others will chime in and give a good review.

<br>
<br>
Though we don&#39;t have black flies, FRONTLINE is what I use on K-9 &quot;Ice&quot; and it seems to keep everything away.  This is a monthly application and I
believe you can double it up during the summer months.  Now this is advertised for fleas and ticks but it seems to work on everything else as well.
