Hiking
TIPs from Backpacker.com COVER UP. Cover your skin as completely as possible. Wear shoes, long sleeves and long pants with the cuffs tucked into socks. BE COLOR CONSCIOUS. Wear khaki or neutral colors. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, especially blue. USE GOOD SENSE. Heavily scented toiletries are an attraction for bugs and bees. Avoid using scented soaps, lotions and shampoos. USE REPELLENT. Like sunscreen, insect repellent is an outdoor essential. Apply the proper insect repellent to clothing and any uncovered skin.
