    I absolutely love the OFF wipes. I can keep the re-closeable packet in my tacklebag and not have to worry about spills or accidental sprays. Plus, with the wipes, you can really get covered up good around your ears and neck and face.

    If it's really bad, I would recommend getting the Repel Permethrin and spraying your clothes down with it the night before. It works wonders, and a good spray down lasts for 2 weeks.

    A combo of the OFF wipes and the Repel Permethrin are critical for my summer night fishing, as well as my spring turkey hunting. The one-two punch of those products is tough to beat. I get both products from Walmart in the camping section, the Repel is not always in stock, so I usually buy a couple of cans at a time when they have it.

    If you can't find the Repel Permethrin at Walmart, you can always check Academy (if you have one around), they usually have the Repel as well as another brand called "Sawyer" permethrin that should work the same. The permethrin is also really good at keeping the ticks off of you.

    Just an FYI - the Deet content only means how long the application will last, much like sunscreen spf ratings. The Repel 100 with 98% Deet will last 10 hours, whereas the wipes I mentioned with 30% Deet will last 5 or 6 hours hours (though the package says 10 hrs). Plus, in using the higher concentrations of Deet, if it gets on your fingers it will take the finish off of various things like your fishing reels. Concentrations of 50% or higher provide no added protection.

    The recommended concentration of Deet is a minimum of 15% to be effective, and a maximum of 30%

    Ok,thanks I have to use Deet 100 round here, because we have gnats (no see ums) and it's the only thing that works for them.

    My first "official" comment is gonna sound strange but it works! I fish out of Yankeetown, Fl some and the "no-see-ums" there will almost carry you away! I was on another board and someone said that up around Savannah, Ga they're even worse - hard to imagine! The "repellent of choice" up there is Dollar General's "ORS Olive Oil Sheen Spray". Basically it's their generic brand of afro-sheen. It works! I guess it works like Skin So Soft on bugs but better. The stuff smells good but it stops the no-see-ums! I have no idea how it works of mosquitoes but for $4 a can it's worth trying!
