Is there one pipe tobacco that is more skeeter repellent than any other?
I second this.Latakia
mmmm not a repellant but more a pesticide, be interested if anyone else knows a anti mozzi brand/backy SMOKE that respells em from their experiences?
Try AVANTI cigars Ranger. I'm telling ya those anisette stink bombs will keep any insect with wings within a 100 yards from you 😆!!I've tried every possible blend I could think of. Nothing seems to work on our mosquitos around here. Worse are the gnats. Pipe seems to attract them as they are always on me but not the wife. Little buggers.
Manitoba is infamous for its abundance and variety of mosquitos, we also have an abundance of common wood ticks. I'll second the effectiveness of permethrin impregnated clothing. My work hat is made of permethrin impregnated cloth and its serves as mosquito bane all summer, even through bi-weekly washes! This is my second, I bought one last year as well. I rarely use other repellent, instead I simply wear long sleeves to work, I cannot stand the feel of lotions/sprays on my skin and they collect dust and grime very quickly in my regular tasks. If mosquito populations are really high I will spray my work shirt and pants with aerosol DEET products, I never use anything below 35%.I'd just be guessing, but if latakia works, then something else that is fire/smoke cured might, so Old Dark Fired (?). I've seen some dark fired leaves so highly fired that they were black and shiny. On another note, we have a mosquito plant, and it keeps them away fairly well, especially if you rub a leaf on your skin or clothing. Also, I can tell you that permethin sprayed on clothing works very well for mosquitoes and ticks. I work in tick areas sometimes, so it is a must.
