Mosquitos in FL Swamps
Mosquitos are a constant issue for me here in Florida. I have always used 100% deet with good results, but often when the skeets are especially thick I have that constant buzzing in my ears from skeets that don't land but are still annoying as heck cause of the noise.
I've heard mixed reviews on therm-o-cells. What do you guys think about them? Any other thoughts on how to keeps those pesky things away?

itsjust another thing to carry...and keep track of....

Buy one, i won' sit in a swamp without mine. I hate that buzzing too, I have had deer walk up behind me unknowingly because of this. Remember to switch the pad often, learn from my mistakes!

RE: Mosquitos in FL Swamps
I won't go out without it! I read some reviews on it from ESPN that said it wasn't good, but I have used mine for 3 years now and it works like a charm. Only concern is the scent. They say they are scentless, but I can smell it so I know the deer can too. But, if it is between spooking a deer and gettting carried off by mosquitos, I'll take the spooking most times. And I am a nut about scent. I will will wear my scent lock and under clothes in 90 plus weather.

If you can't beat them, join them... then once you lure them into a false sense of security, jump on their back and beat them to a bloody pulp.
