I buy the ones that have less than 5% as the AAP recommends (I think they do anyway). I try to use it sparingly and wash it off when we come in. <BR/><BR/>Just so you know, the little battery-powered frogs that you clip on the stroller or clothing that are supposed to emit a high-frequency noise like a dragonfly...DON'T WORK AT ALL! lol. Save your money on those. ;o)<BR/><BR/>We do have one of those huge mosquito trappers that use propane and an attractant. I think it works for a 1/2 acre...but we have over 4. Anyway, it totally works! I have a little net full of the creeps to prove it. Unfortunately, they are quite expensive. <BR/><BR/>good luck!<BR/><BR/>ps - I LOVE reading your blog. Wish I would have found it sooner. ;o)Jen Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528551519602313049noreply@blogger.com
