You might think this is a bit odd buy try carring around one of those softener sheets that you throw in the dryer. The odor is in some ways a repellant to mosquitos. You can keep it under your hat or in your back pocket. This actually works!!!

I'd confront your neighbors and tell them the dangers of mosquito born diseases like Equine flu and how it's spreading to and killing dogs now (see link below).\n\nIf they still won't do anything, you should call your local Health Dept as some have strict laws in the Summer to not have standing water where them dang skeeters can bread.  I live in the Southeast USA where it can get get oppressively humid, and  mosquitoes can be a real problem.

There is a much safer way.  Get several burlap sacks (try the feed stores) and spread them out on the ground.  Soak them good with water and let them set overnight.  In the early morning lift up the burlap bags and pick up all the worms right on top of the ground.

bug repellent.  citronella candles work.  OFF if you are willing to use DEET.  Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent if you are not.  I use that , and it actually works.  It is made of Lemongrass oil, Citronella Oil and Rosemary Oil.  It is highly concentrated and very oily, but I have seen mosquitos literally make right and left turns when they get a whiff of it.  Good luck

If you get a tic try to use rubbing alcohol our put some thing hot on its body the shock will make it release its bite. Then pull it off. To avoid them there are some bug repellents that they will shy from.

The following suggestions give you easy ways to repel these pests:\n\nSupplement with one vitamin B-1 tablet a day from April through October. Add 100 mg of B-1 to a B-100 Complex daily during the mosquito season.\n\nDon't feed  bananas to your dogs or yourself during mosquito season--mosquitoes love bananas! There is something about how your body processes the banana oil that attracts these female sugar-loving insects.\n\nOne of the best natural insect repellents is Vick's Vaporub\n\nPure and natural plant extracts/essential oils like Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Lemon Grass, Penny Royal, Lavender and Peppermint, will repel fleas as well\n\nIf you get an unscented lotion, you can mix that with Eucalyptus and Peppermint or Cintrunella *sp? Oil *buy at a health food store* and make a great smelling lotion that will repel the critters

Set some ground pepper around their area and they'll stay in...if you want to kill them I swear by Windex or if you have a baby and worry about fumes try pure vinegar and it'll work, too!

no you can make some hahaha were the hell do yoou live any who im freezing in PA (usa) \n\n1. Eucalyptus. Granted, most people may not have a eucalyptus tree growing in their backyard, but many folks have some form of Eucalyptus oil, distilled from the leaves of the tree, in their medicine cabinets. A few ounces of the potent oil, plenty to create a homemade mosquito repellent solution, can be purchased at many drug stores for under $5. Using a spray bottle and some warm water, add about 1 ounces of oil for every 6 ounces of water. Be sure to shake the mixture before each spray, and watch out for the eyes (just as you would with any commercial chemical spray). This homemade mosquito repellent will have a somewhat medicinal smell, but it’s not as unpleasant an odor as that of DEET.\n\n2. Lemon Balm. Another essential oil available cheaply at the drug store, lemon balm can be combined in drop form with water and a spray bottle as described above to create homemade mosquito repellent, though I recommend a more concentrated solution (1.5 – 2 ounces of oil for an ounce of water). However, the lemon balm plant (Melissa officinalis) grows easily in North America, so if you keep this fresh herb in your kitchen, you can snip off a handful of leaves and boil them in some hot water. Let the mixture cool a bit, and then put it into spray bottle.\n\nTIP: I recommend combining eucalyptus oil and lemon balm oil for creating a pleasant-smelling (and very effective) homemade mosquito repellent. In fact, these two essential oils are often combined commercially.\n\n3. Garlic. We all know that garlic has a strong odor, but many people use it effectively as a homemade mosquito repellent. There are several options, including chopping up a fresh clove and applying it directly to the skin (which is rather messy) or taking about 2 ounces of chopped garlic and mixing into into a cup of warm water for a spray. Additionally, if you keep a container of pre-chopped garlic in the fridge (the sort available in most grocery stores), it can be blended into a fragrance-free lotion to create mosquito repellent. While I find garlic to be the least desirable of these three homemade mosquito repellents due to its smell, it’s also often the most accessible. And in a pinch, if the choice is getting bitten or remaining mosquito-free, garlic is better than nothing.

~Depending on the orifice and the insect, why would you want to?\nIf you must, I recommend either agent orange or TNT.  The latter  will not only remove the insects, but will generally prevent an influx of maggots in their stead.\n\nOr, just pick your as s and blow your nose.

The active ingredients in repellents make the person unattractive for feeding. Repellents do not kill mosquitoes. Repellents are effective only at short distances from the treated surface, so you may still see mosquitoes flying nearby.

The most effective bug repellent is DEET.  You can get any number of bug sprays that contain DEET but you will be best off buying the one with the highest concentration.  Also avoid any scented sprays.  They may be more appealing to you but they are also more appealing to the bugs.  This is what we in the Military use.

Slow down.\n\nAnother one of my tricks is this - you say that you use senko worms.  Get the ones w/ about the last inch and a half flat.  Cut small circles in the flat part in the middle in a line from the base of the flat part to the tip.  Once you've done that, (you should be able to get about 3 holes), cut down the middle from the tip to the base.  Then you've cut the flat part down the middle from the tip to the base and each side will have 3 half circles in it.  This causes a different style of vibration while you're reeling and I'd also be willing to bet that no one else on your lake is doing that.\n\nThere's all sorts of things you can experiment with.  Try wrapping bubble gum around different parts of the worm.  Take a razor blade and bisect the worm from about a half inch past where the hook goes in all the way to the end.  if that doesn't work, rotate it 90 degrees and bisect those two halves where you have 4 pieces of worm.\n\nI've heard of people who will put cheerios on the hook between the eye and where it's buried in the worm.  (the exposed part of the hook will have like 5 cheerios on it).  \n\nUse a lizard and when you put the hook through the nose, run it down in there about an extra inch.  Then the soft plastic nose will actually be about 3/4 of an inch on the line.  Make sure you've rigged it to float and you can cast it into some lilly pads and every now and then, lift up on the line and it'll look like the lizard is picking its head up to look around.\n\nThese are just some ideas right off hand.  The best thing to do is to get creative.  That's another bonus of soft plastics.  They're inexpensive.  You can literally destroy one trying to figure out new ways and you're only out 25 cents.  Get a holepuncher and a razor blade and go to town!
