There's something about me that is irresistible to mosquitoes. I wish I knew what it was! What is your favorite topical mosquito repellent?

@Flika13 Ding Dong Avon calling. I've had good luck with Avon Skin So Soft, original scent.

Mosquitos don't really bother me. Well, their buzzing sound really bothers me. If I am sitting out, I always light a 3 hr burn incense stick. The smoke keeps them away from me.

Walking the dog, I'll spray a little Deet on my clothes. Deet along w/my BO keeps them from buzzing around me.

OFF is the only one I've ever used because it works. However, we don't have mosquitos in the area where I live so I only dig out the OFF when I go elsewhere.

Do you have low blood sugar ? I had a friend who did and the mosquitoes would eat her up, I mean within minutes she would be covered and have to go to the hospital for shots.

OP, If you have electricity, plug in a fan and run it on low. This keeps mosquitoes away and you don't have to breathe any harmful repellents! It really works! I now enjoy sitting on my front porch in the evening!

We use a Thermocell. Keeps everything away. Mosquitoes have never cared for me, but biting flies see me as a smorgasbord.

Avon's skin-So-Soft is a lovely product for a light body oil, but on me, it doesn't repel mosquitoes!
If I am only outside briefly, I wear a citronella bracelet (can also be worn on ankle)- But if I am out gardening or any period of time, ( it's a deep forest here), I wear DEET based repellant. They love me... 🙄🙄😢
