Suggestions on insect repellant?

[lonehunter]

i used to put sugar-water in a spray bottle and write mosquito repellent on it and then set it down on the fishing dike down at point mouley in monroe . i also would put wasps nests in a flee market tackle box with nuts and bolts in it too . once the sun went down someone passing by would snatch them up thinking we wouldn't see them .

it isn't a good thing to do , but it served it's purpose . it cut down on missing fishing gear for a bit .
