Go to a loggers store and get the bush repelent it's 99 % deet!

Any idea on where there might be such a store in the lower mainland? My stock of 97% deet deep woods off is almost gone :(

Cheers,
Nicole

I'm guessing that Deakin or 3Vets would likely have some :)

anybody know of some good bug repelant. out here in the wack it's bad. some suggestions would be nice. i use to get some stuff from am-way years ago, i think they ban the stuff. it sure worked good though.

Vicks Vap-o-Rub works really well. Its cheap, effective and it spreads out well. It smells better than DEET and is less harmful. DEET is a very harsh chemical that is used in variety of things such as LICE SHAMPOO!!!!. It has been shown to damage neurons in the brain and cause muscle malfunction and loss of coordination. Not good for fisherman or anyone thats for sure. Give 'er a try.
