Most insect repellents make excellent graffiti removers, water will neutralise it.

I don't want to use any now..

Grrr!!! >:D

You're not wrong CD. I rarely use it anyway, but the missus does, and on the kids as well... but not anymore.

Bushman's is a Killer, it melted the plastic cover on my fridge when someone touched it just after applying it (80deet), and the Gelcoat on the Jayco.  :-[

Someone just told me that they spray Aerogard on the garden to kill the weed Oxalis.  Apparently it doens't hurt the surrounding plants though!?  Bushmans doesn't work though. Go figure.

When i was last in India a mate of ours had some insect repellant cream that had a high DEET content that he was given in the navy.
He applied the repellent in the morning one day and then by the end of the day the watch he was wearing
 around his wrist fell off as the deet had melted the plastic watch band.
Serious stuff that DEET

After reading this it now explains why a couple of items in one of my camping boxes perished and needed to be thrown out. Would have put it down to the Bushman’s, so that’s for the post.

I remember some time ago we were told not to use flysprays inside our camper.  Don't use anywhere near canvas.

BANG! We have a winner.  :cup:
That is the result of the cable coming into contact with Aerogard.  The stuff we spray all over ourselves and the kids!  :o :o :o
The cable gets stored in a small plastic container along with, amongst other things, a pump spray bottle of Aerogard.  Needless to say the bottle leaked and the cable sat in it.  I worked out that it was probably in contact with it for a day or two.  But still... WOW.
Obviously Bushmans has the same effect.

PS Where should I send the prize too Mike?  (It's a couple of unused cans of Aerogard  ;) )

Thanks LJ but I think I will donate it back for a redraw  ;D ;D
I don't like either of those sprays or sunscreen - I try to wear a light coloured long sleeve shirt

 :cheers:

We have been using RID Tropical strength and it seems to be quiet good, lasts well and no melting (SO far)  ;D

I realized how potent Bushmans was when I lightly sprayed my feet and it stripped the nail polish off my beatifully manicured toenails! The next night I went without and was eaten alive by midgies at Port Smith, WA. The kind pharmacist in Port Headland who insisted I double dose Phenergan because "you've gone allergic" recomended I use Sandfly and Mozzie Stuff by The Locals. Has all sorts of wonderful natural ingredients and actually works (soothes if already bitten too).

Here's their website, take a look. I have no affiliation with them just love the fact that it helped ease the itch of more than 50 10cent sized midgie caused bumps per limb.

Aren't Australian standards great when the msds says hazardous and avoid contact with skin, and that's exactly what it's intended purpose is. Crazy.

DEET is powerful stuff.
Never did like the idea of soaking my mozzie net in deet to ward off the Malarian mozzies, just another excuse to drink more G&T's.

I use a herbal insect repellent.

Maybe also not safe to use over a longer period, who knows. The skin absorbs everything, ......
