It’s War! Best Ways to Fight Mosquitos in NCW

To Use Deet or to not use Deet. Or have you heard of Picaridin? 

I have not heard of Picaridin, but I have heard of and used Deet before.

Picaridin is rather new to the US, only being available to buy since 2005. So, a lot of the research on the synthetic chemical is still being conducted for long term effects.

Deet has been a staple but it's effects on the environment, our bodies and other side effects make this chemical almost feared?

So, what do we do to keep the pesky Mosquitos away?! That answer is best fitted to your lifestyle, but! I did find the best Bug repellants for you to choose so you may get back to enjoying the great North Central Washington summer days!
