How do mosquito repellents work?

Are there any mosquito repellents which actually work??

  • Answer:

    Skin So Soft by Avon. My Grandmother made me use it as a kid, and it still works for me to this day.

Idk why, but Avon Skin so Soft does really work. I live in Oregon where the mosquitos are like rabid dogs and I use that stuff and I hardly ever get bitten. Good Luck!!

Bear grease /fat is the best possible. Not easy to get though. Eating a natural diet avoiding sugars, sodas, and processed foods helps most people. Bad food makes your body give off more carbon dioxides which attracts mosquitos. I seldom have problems compared to those around me, but I eat the good stuff.

Watkins has a product that is very effective. Expensive but well worth it. Nutrimetics has their Green Tea line which I found very effective and I live in an area with high mosquito counts in the summer.
