  5. Every summer, millions of people spray themselves with DEET to keep mosquitoes away. But new research suggests mosquitoes may be able to learn to associate the repellent with food — and even become attracted to it.
    Bugger, isn't that evolution at work?

  7. I go out for a walk with @TheRealPomax and clear up some scotch broom (very invasive and pervasive species of plant). Today, I discovered 10 mosquito bites, and of course, he has none.

    Anyone know of a #mosquito #repellent (for using on a person) that you can buy in #BC #Canada that works?

  12. If you can imagine the most #vile, #disgusting, #repugnant and #nasty behaviour a human being can exhibit, you've probably just described a #Republican #politician without even realizing it.

    It's all the rage with the #GOP #Brand these days.

    The more #repellent #smarmy and #slimy, the more authentic they are.

  22. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has added CATNIP OIL and OIL OF CITRONELLA to its list of *registered*, skin-applied chemicals that repel mosquitoes, joining DEET, IR 3535, PMD (oil of lemon eucalyptus), picaridin, and 2-undecanone. Officially, I don't think catnip is registered for use against ticks but there's plenty of web chatter that it works. #mosquitoes #repellent #ticks #epa #nature epa.gov/insect-repellents/skin

  27. Fun fact: DEET is also effective at repelling leeches. However, I haven't seen that as an EPA-accepted usage in the United States so I don't think you'll see it on the label like you can in Australia (home to 100+ species of leeches. #leeches #deet #repellent bushman-repellent.com/bushman-

  32. The Bug Bite Thing actually works 😮
    I just purchased another one to keep in my fishing bag 😊
    But, I would still use DEET 😉

  37. Quick tip for Thermacell owners: replace the repellent cap after every use so that you don't lose fluid from evaporation. Refill cartridges (active ingredient: metofluthrin) are insanely expensive. Doing this will also remind you to turn the device off. #mosquitoes #pesticide #repellent #thermacell #pyrethroids

  42. Good morning. Does anyone know if these things actually work? I have anecdotal evidence all over my body that it doesn't, and the only thing I'm poisoning is me and @roel 😬
