You can always try some of these: http://www.almanac.com/content/how-deter-mosquitoes-and-treat-bug-bites

But developing BO from the apple cider vinegar or swallowing garlic may also repel your significant others.

Glad you are getting some rain Largo. Power down and unplug all your electronics for a spell if it's too bad.

You got that right. My wife is not fond of my fresh garlic use. If I ingest too much, it can definitely repel! Since I put garlic on everything, I have to be careful.

storms over by me,now HOT and HUMID for sure whew..but got some nice rain from that storm.

GFS has a storm coming ashore up in the Panhandle the 21st Jenny..stay alert then ok.......

it seems to be like a weak tropical storm wind wise huh,well we have 14 days to watch and see IF this verifies...we all know track can change run to run, day after day huh...we saw today how the Euro dropped its hurricane after one run to the next huh. gee, how can people prepare and plan when even the models keep changing. run to run

well in looking at the airport,well over a half inch since earlier this morning....

well GFS has the storm a hurricane until it hits the mountains on the islands,then into gulf..

now the CMC model brings 04L up close to Billsfan and south florida next Friday,weaker yes...

Go to Walmart and buy their electronic bug zapper. (it is black in color and looks like a tennis racquet). The black one works better than the black and red ones. It takes 2 AA batteries and it really, really works. You can zap dozens of mosquitoes in one swipe. It also works on regular flies too. I was dubious but I saw it in action. After our rains last month, the skeeters were thick as can be. One of my customers gave us one and we were amazed, We have since bought four more for my boss, friends etc,...
