    ABSTRACT: Background: The introduction of West Nile virus in Canada is changing the perception that mosquitoes are nothing more than nuisance pests. Interest is increasing in ways to protect against mosquitoes. One of the commonest is the use of insect repellents. Methods: Tests were undertaken to determine the effectiveness of three mosquito repellents: 95% DEET, Avon Skin So Soft bath oil, and a “special mixture” of substances thought to have insect repellent qualities. The repellents were compared with each other and against a placebo in eight separate test sessions. During each session, the three repellents and placebo were tested simultaneously. Each session lasted between 90 and 120 minutes. After every session, the repellents were thoroughly washed from the test site and a minimum of 72 hours elapsed between tests. There were four test sites: the author’s right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. All test…

The Pacific vampire mosquito is indigenous to several islands in the Pacific Ocean. They are most known for their presence on the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the large tourist presence on the islands, and the increasing pressure of unhappy tourists these pests are literally being poised to extinction. They are known to carry Malaria, and yellow fever and infect thousands of tourists yearly. Should these creatures be spared? After all their endangerment is a direct cause of human involvement.
