Good thing, because those things are large.

Eastern NC, hot and humid weather, living on a waterfront farm... Mosquitoes are massive in late July and August. Most well over the size of a nickel and some over the size of a quarter

Yep I grew up in eastern NC so know all about them. The ones in VA are about the same. I'm considering using one of those "Mosquito Squad" like companies this summer not due to Zika but because my daughter looks like she's gone a round with Mike Tyson after a couple mosquito bites.

I hope that I get a bonus for this free add I'm giving you guys. Avon sells this product, "Skin So Soft" and it does wonders for mosquito bites. Sunday we were at my SIL's house playing cards and she was attacked by them. She had huge welts on her legs and upper arm. She spritzed the lotion on her affected areas really well and she didn't get anymore itching and the welts went away. It's also good for preventing skeeter bites before they happen. I'm not charging Avon for this free advertisement just trying to help you guys who live in the south.

We've known about SSS for years. I remember using it in the late 70's/early 80's.

But we have some mosquitoes down here that think of SOS as marinade.

The best thing I have found to keep them away is a Thermocell. Not only works on skeeters but the black flies and noseeums as well.

I'm one of the lucky few that has no reaction to mosquito bites. My wife and daughter though get huge whelps, I'll share this with her.

It's worth a try. If it doesn't work at least she'll have smoother skin. LOL You should see mine. Ha, ha.
