Insect repellent

[terryfcampbell]

Anybody know of an insect repellent that is scent free? The mosquitoes are really bad where I'm bow hunting here in Ky. I bought a bottle of Cutter Outdoorsman that said unscented but man it has a strong oder.

I have used cedar cover scent, it works when I use it with other scent control techniques

The Thermacell products mosquito repellent device really works quite well. On another hunting talk forum several members have used it and really like it. It's mainly for mosquitos and other flying insects so it is really useful during the early season deer hunting when temps can be on the warm side and mosquitos swarming around your head drown out all other sounds near you.

Here's a few testimonials from the other hunting talk forum for your own estimation of its effectiveness vs. hype.
