Re: west Niles...bug spray
Honestly, I hate to say this but after dusk we dont go outside. 2 of my children are so allergic to mosquito bites where my sons bites swell so bad it theyre on his face his eyes have almost swollen shut, and my daughter is like me and can not stop itching. Nothing works. Bandaids, long sleeves and pants etc. She has scarring and she just turned 3.  Bad. Im the bait, I dont know if its something in my blood but I get bit all over when nobody else does... So anyway, we really dont do anything outside where wed get bitten after dusk. Sorry for the novel :) No bug sprays have ever really worked for me.

Badger spray. It's organic, deet-free, smells nice, and works really well. I bought it on Amazon.

Re: west Niles...bug spray
I bought one at the organic store and it works pretty well. It smells like Citronella. We had been using the deet 5% and did nothing and I wasn't really crazy about using deet.

. My dd is he same way! I feel like no one can relate to how highly allergic she is. She gets eaten alive even in the day. I put off with deet (hate using chemicals) but I tried everything else and nothin works! I can't wait for the cool weather to come and kill all these Mosquitos!!!!! I also have sprayed my property and have a bug zapper nOt sure if any of it actually works because I'm still seeing mosquitoes.

I know someone who sells Avon, so I buy it through them. But most malls should have an Avon store. I get the regular one without the sunscreen.
