    this is what they look like up close. anything with vanilla flavoring will keep em off of ya. skin so soft is what works best for me just don't go in a biker bar after fishing with that stuff on ya.....might not come out so good.

    Repel 100... it's 100% Deet, check out the reviews on amazon.I can tell you that it worked well for me down here in the marshes of Louisiana.

    WOW, thank you all for the replies. How would you use the vanilla extract, wipe it on or spray it on? I can't use deet. I will try Skin so soft.
