This doesn't sound like it works but it works fantastically! You spray it all around you, in your boat, where you're camping, your back and front yard and you will not be bothered by any mosquitoes. I promise. 3 cans of stale cheap beer, 3 cups of Epsom salt and one large cheap bottle of blue mouth wash (get at the dollar store). Mix together until the salt has dissolved. Put into a spray bottle and have at it. Works so good.

In northern Ontario when I was a kid, some of the elders would carry their smudge pails around wherever they went when the bugs were bad.

Cedar repells bugs, and a company in Texas makes CedarCide, which works very well against all kinds of insects...When I was young, most people had cedar chests to protect clothes from moths...

Patchouli Oil, Clove Oil, Billy These have even been tested and do a very good job..
100% repellent up to 2 hours.. We were at a French and Indian  vent this weekend and the mosquitos  were horrible.. I remembered reading in an old outdoors magazine article that patchouli oil repeked mosquito so i went to a local store and got some patchouli incense.. Worked fantastic and I saved not only my camp from discomfort but several others..

Birch polypore on hot coals makes a good smudge against insects. The Scandinavians have been using different fungus like this for centuries.

I crush up some box fern and rub it on. I'm usually hiking and this works pretty well.

Great to have the options. I use the new stuff, but seems like they could not be the best for the body.  Hate mosquitos though, so anything goes when it comes to ridding them.

Good tip Billy I will have to try that birch oil one. Does it last a long time? Take care

In the mountains of Jamaica the houses were built on raised stilt foundations. They would put smoke pots under the house and the smoke wafted up through the floor boards keeping the mosquitoes away.

Billy, I have read that putting sage leaves on a campfire repels mosquitoes.   I am going to be the handicraft director at scout camp this summer.   I will be planting sage around my craft shed, so I can try it this summer.   If you ever come to Lacrosse, Wisconsin, look me up.  You might enjoy visiting here.  There is a great deal of history, especially of the early French fur traders.  You would love paddling a canoe on the Mighty Mississippi River!

Il me semble avoir déjà lu que les coureurs des bois utilisaient de la graisse d'ours ?

[brknspacebar]

Ive heard, but never tried, that the powder off of a trembling aspen (poplar) tree is a repellent and sunblock.... ive heard 🤟🏼

Great info Billy, thanks for sharing =)

Apparently certain tribes of native americans would mix bear blood and a certain type of berry together and spread it on their skin to repel mosquitoes (probably where the redskin thing came from) I don't know how you'd get your hand on bear blood but it's something I heard about

Great video Billy; I love learning about the old way of doing things from different regions.  Down here in the southeast US we have a plant called Beautyberry; it can be found wild or domestic.  You can crush the green leaves and rub them on your skin for a very effective insect repellent. The USDA has even confirmed its natural insect repellent chemistry.  There is also a recipe for mixing the leaves, berries and rubbing alcohol to make a spray but I haven't tried that. Thanks again.
