I’ve actually used vicks for this purpose while in Thailand, the flys there are insane, they look like little airplanes.

Wouldn’t use it at a barbaque, it does smell pretty bad.

An excellent idea – two birds with one stone! Repel the mosquito’s while keeping your airways wide open to enjoy the fresh air. Definitely something I will be considering on my next holiday.

I've never heard anything about adverse affects on pregnant women, but personally I use a a mosquito trap that uses counterflow technology to protect my property. Works like a charm and I'd definitely recommend looking into it if you ever get tired of trying home remedies like did!

Hi Narcy, most people say that Vicks Vaporub is okay for use when pregnant, including many women who've used it during their pregnancy. However, the official product warning on the Vicks website is: "If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use." So you might want to ask your doctor first.

My husband and 2 sons are going camping (scout camp) in mosquito heaven next week and I am heading to stock up on Vick’s VapoRub. What a great tip, I am so excited that those harsh sprays will not have to be used.

My husband is also excited that he will not have to hang the little Lavender clumps all around the tent, way too girlie even if it does work.
