Neighbors Sneer? How About the Bugs?
So the neighbors sneer. It's the bugs I'm concerned about.
I also have had problems finding Autan the last couple of years, both at Bodega Aurrera and Comercial Mexicana. (Autan always worked for me, even at Playa Larga, which has the most voracious jejenes around, in a 10 meter-wide strip of beach between the palapas and the surf.)
Comercial Mexicana also has spray cans of H24, with 20% DEET. It works fine too. I find OFF a rip-off, pricewise, and no better than H24.
I'm bringing down a half dozen Walmart pump sprays, (30% DEET) and their spray repellent, (25% DEET). Someone mentioned Perethrin and I've done a bit of I'net research. It looks promising, but the variety sold here in Canada is only 0.2% (I think - apparently Health Canada has some concerns), while a 0.5% is available in the US, so.....we'll stop at Walmart USA on the way down.
