Default Avon

In Alaska in the summertime up near Mt. McKinley, the mosquitoes were large and aggressive. We found success with spray on repellent containing DEET. Other people, using other combinations, were less successful.

An alternative is AVON Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard. Years ago Avon discovered that people were using their skin softener as mosquito repellent, so they added some additional chemicals to make it more effective, and now sell it as a repellent.
