Travelingman52 Posted July 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We will be visiting Canada in October, with visits to forests etc. Should I pack insect repellent and if so can anyone recommend one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted July 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We always take several sheets of Bounce laundry sheets with us and place one in a top pocket or belt. Biting insects seem to dislike the perfume and stay away. It did us proud in the Amazon when many passengers received horrendous bites that lasted a long time. It also worked well on the eastern seaboard of Canada, Bangkok and Murmansk. It may sound daft but trust me, it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted July 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2018 There's a brand in America - Johnsons Off, which worked well when I used it years ago. https://off.com/en Not available here unfortunately, except via Amazon perhaps - but sold in Canada as well as USA. https://off.ca/en-ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
