It was pretty spendy but I think it was the only thing that made the bug levels tolerable. I don't believe the range they state on the box though, we used it out back but trying to work in a flower bed out front was horrible.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-90722075300801940822010-07-26T16:46:26.975-04:002010-07-26T16:46:26.975-04:00We don't have a mosquito problem. 2 times a y...We don't have a mosquito problem. 2 times a year we have horseflies.

It seemed to work for a few times, but then I was still getting eaten alive. What I have to do, every time I go outside to work is wear long pants (I know it is soooo hot!) and spray my arms and my clothes with Off. That keeps them off me. However, the other day they were trying to bite me in the face! I've been researching some herbal options but haven't came up with anything yet. Just know you are not alone in this club!Lyndahttp://bloombakecreate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-23297495307927545572010-07-25T14:34:23.084-04:002010-07-25T14:34:23.084-04:00I've had some luck with the candles and the mo...I've had some luck with the candles and the mosquito coils.

I avoid them by being in the garden when they can't stand the sun and heat .. neither can I but one of us has to be the stronger ? LOL<br />My husband fishes and golfs and does have problems with them .. he bought this little wrist band of citronella ? and he says it works .. he found it in a "Dollar" store believe it or not .. maybe you might check that out ?<br />Hope you have some good luck with it all .. I HATE those little buggers !!<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.com
