What about Picaridin? Any first hand experience? Doesn't melt plastic.

Thanks Joe, a good read. Quote: The chemicals also need to be used at high concentrations, which could be hazardous to human health. The researchers say their next step is to develop safer chemicals. I think I'll stick with the devil I know, DEET.

My biggest concern would be the effect up the food chain.

I don't hate the biters. I hate it when they bite me. The rest of the time I love the little buggers! They feed the fish and other good stuff.

I don't really want to kill them. I just want them to go away. That's how a repellant should work, by repelling. While DEET is a poison, bugs don't try to land on it. I don't get bit and there are mossies to feed the fish. Win Win Win!
