G54 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) OK, I have a problem with Mosquito sprays, they make me cough an splutter like an old asthmatic dog. Yet sometimes I need to use the spray. The question is, how much for an average size bedroom, for example? Is one small squirt enough to do the job effectively or is a longer burst needed? Yes, I know about using the electric bats for zapping mozzies, but sometimes the spray needs to be done and though I try to do it on the way out of the house for a time, that is also not always convenient. TIA. dang, missed a C off critters in the title! Edited March 10, 2009 by G54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 We find that just using the aircon is sufficient to keep the mosquito's at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1fanatic Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Use one of the 'plug in' mosquito repellents. They work v well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you can find it, look for a spray that is DEET free. That is usually the ingredient that causes problems, FYI DEET can also cause seizures in dogs if they are exposed to too much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toybits Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't use insecticide to get rid of mosquitos in the house or in my bedroom. Instead, I use a zapper that is like a tennis racquet. It has a rechargeable battery and is very selective in killing only undesirable insect (flies included). I have one beside me when I sleep so when a mozzie comes buzzing near my ear - ZAPPPP.

pattaya_girl Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Keep you Mosquito nets closed at all times, if you have them. I recently bought some Mosquito Repelant Cream which i find very efficiant - it is called ' OFF ' it really works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakboong Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Listerine in a spray bottle works really well. Also, keep a sheet of cling free or similar clothes dryer fabric softener in your pocket. They hate the stuff and you won't be bothered further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaBuddha Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You can try the Bugslock wristbands. They don't have DEET. Just citronella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
