CruiserBruce Posted August 5 #2 Share Posted August 5 Have been to Hawaii over 30 times on land trips. Occasionally had some pesky flies on golf courses, but no real bug issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted August 5 #3 Share Posted August 5 I am a mosquito magnet and always have repellent with me in Hawaii. Evenings are especially bad. Ben's makes some wipes that are individually wrapped and can easily be put in a pocket or purse. Just my experience. Cherie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the POA in May, and spent a total of 14 days in HI we brought insect repellent, but never used it once. We hiked in the greenery off the road to Hana, did mountain tubing and hiked on Kauai and other hikes on the big island and Oahu, so for us, no need. However, bring it along, you never know, its small insurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLCARDS82 Posted August 5 #5 Share Posted August 5 You might Google it on Amazon, but there's also some non-spray devices you can wear on your body... I got a feeling my generation got a lot of cancer from using those products in the 70s. Hope you enjoy your time in Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted August 5 #6 Share Posted August 5 Repel is my favorite non-deet repellent. It is plant/eucalyptus based and works great. Cherie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted August 5 #7 Share Posted August 5 Also, on one of our trips to Kauai in the 80's we learned from residents that Vick's VaporRub is awesome for bites. I never travel without a small container of Vick's. Cherie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
