If you take a Vitamin B complex about 20-30 mins before you go outside the mosquitos won’t bite. A few might still land, but soon fly off. It works for other obnoxious bugs also. I’ve (and my extended family) been doing this successfully for 8yrs. No side effects and the cost is a few pennies a person for one pill. My sister in law uses it for camping trips.
Karla says
How often can you take this if you’re outside all day- such as camping?
Nicole says
I started to use the amber colored Listerine for mosquitos last summer. It seemed to be effective.
Heather says
Nicole, do you spray Listerine on your body the same as bug spray??
