Mosquitos

[Tonysca6]

It seems the mosquitos are really bad this year, at least where we are. Has anyone found a good solution to this problem while you are on your boat??? Our legs look like someone ran a meat tenderizer on them, really do not like locking ourselves up in the salon at night. Thanks

We have had great success with the Thermacell at home and in the islands. It protects an area 15'x15' so one unit will likely do your cockpit.

If the wind is calm Thermacell can't be beat

I'll need to try that - West Niles going around michigan this year so need to be careful.

the Thermacell will definitely run them off
I use one in the treestand in early archery deer season ....works for flies too
and it has no real smell ... this summer I used mine in the cabin of the boat with the doors closed
tip for use...the pads last about 4 hours
the gas cartridge about 8 hours
buy the max refill pack of both.

If you're keeping your canvas up, but they're finding their way in you can spray the screens with bug spray.

We use a Mosquito Eater, if started at the beginning of the season, it disrupts the breeding cycle and while doesn't kill them off 100% there is an AMAZING change in the population.
