Thanks You have 80 best friends? :eek: Hopefully you're not in charge of buying all the bug spray! Get something with a high DEET concentration as I hear the mosquitoes can be nasty but probably only when you head inland. Deep Woods Off has a high concentration, but there are other brands that have higher levels and are cheaper. I got some stuff at Dicks Sporting Goods that is 98% DEET but I can't remember the name. It was half the price as Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boballen Posted June 21, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted June 21, 2007 actually i dont have ANY friends :) they are all listeners to our morning show in Ventura, CA http://www.kvta.com So what i can gather, along the coast at the typical ports, insects should'nt be TOO much of a problem? we dont plan on heading inland. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true - the legendary mosquitoes are inland, and are seldom a problem in the ports (though it does happen occasionally so carrying something like Deep Woods Off is a good idea).
