I had the opportunity to go down near Union Springs in Macon County to hunt two days. That in itself would make the trip memorable, but I also mentioned the mosquitoes I encountered. When you spray on two different kinds of insect spray, wear hunting garb with gloves and head nets and still get the business end of the little devils, it is almost too much to bear.
Some mosquito sprays work and some just seem to be a waste of time and money.
Consumer Reports conducted some tests on some brands last year to check the effectiveness on the pesky mosquito. Most of the more effective sprays today use a chemical called deet. While deet doesn t kill the bug, it is very effective in keeping them away. The length of time the product lasts while in the outdoors depends on the percentage of the deet concentration. This can range from about seven percent to 100 percent.
