Was just spraying weed killer (old DU recipe, [View all]

1 gallon vinegar, cup of salt, teaspoon of dish detergent,) sprayed myself with OFF, but still a bunch of bites.

Could get Avon's Deet-Free Bug Guard Plus, 'Expedition,' 'long-lasting,' or Bug Guard Plus Picaridin, 'strong & dependable,' or anything else. I won't be going out for long periods of time.

Suggestions?

Thx
