The Off brand should be available in most stores. It's been my aerosol repellent of choice for years. I'm also partial to Mosquito Milk, a roll-on repellent. If she chooses to buy at home, aerosol repellent up to 17oz may be packed in checked bags, and up to 3.4oz in a carryon bag at a TSA checkpoint. http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/hazmat_safety/No matter what she picks, the best repellent is the one that she remembers to use.

I've tried many different products over the years including the magical island potion, Mosquito Milk, but I still prefer my OFF towelettes to all of them. They're neater and can be easily carried in a pocket or a wallet or small purse and they are very effective. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We always use Deep Woods Off.
If you are on the beach it is also very important to spray your legs and feet with DWO no later than 2:30 or 3:00pm before the sand fleas emerge each afternoon. Read Herman Wouk's "Don't stop the Carnival " for more insight...

We have visited St. Martin in spring, summer, and fall, nearly all times staying at Club Orient. The problem I had on one of my first stays was triggered by walking across the sand and grasses from the beach back to our mini-suite on one afternoon...and having no problem then but having painful bites all over my lower legs and feet the following day.
The French pharmacist at the drug store in Cul de Sac diagnosed the problem and gave me a prescription cream that stopped that quickly and recommended the deet repellent from the knees down rvery afternoon.
Ever since that early trip I have had no further problems...

Just have a mosquito MAGNET like me around and they'll be too busy to bother you. That is why my wife never seems to get bitten. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

It seems to be hit or miss if I am bothered. If going out at night to a place that has a lot of vegetation, I will use some kind of repellant, along with moderate doses of an internal treatment, wine or Scotch!

I just heard about "Net Effect" - available in the States - same as Mosquito Milk - same mfr. I tried MM years ago and it did not work for me. I use Repel 100 - 100% Deet, I get it in the camping department at Wally World, it is effective. I apply morning, noon, and night. I also carry Benedryl, AfterBite and Gold Bond anti itch :-) Ellen
