    It's been a wet week in Houston and the Mosquitos are pretty fierce. Deep woods off is the scent of the summer right now

    This morning I started the day with some captains choice bay rum and spent the day in the yard without a bite. Everyone around me is slapping and spraying off.

    Has anyone else noticed this? It's really cool.

    No, but if that works I will have to give it a try. The sceeters get pretty mean down here (Florida) as well.

    Bay oil is a natural insect repellent. Also repels cockroaches, too.

    Sounds like a good justification to buy some more bay rum. Pinuad was alright but there has to be a bay rum out there that I'll want to keep in my regular rotation.

    I've tried a few. The one I keep going back to is Master's Bay Rum. It's a one note symphony, but sometimes simpler is better.

    The Veg is synonymous with repel.

    In my opinion.
    Used it once and threw it in the trash. That was a mistake. My garbage can smelled for weeks. Should I ever have the dubious pleasure of receiving another bottle, I will discard it in the neighbor's trash can.

    Although I am a Veg fan I just love a good Veg joke.

    That's was pretty much my wife's reaction! Too bad, I could use a good mosquito repellent.

    My wife actually likes Bay Rum (she is under 40). She is from Puerto Rico, though, so that might be part of the reason why.

    Well, well! I will have to put this to the test. Thanks for the tip!
