where do people buy bug spray in baja?
Like DDT or something that stomps them all outBajahowodd - 5-2-2011 at 04:28 PM

At Fumigaciones stores in larger towns, they sell concentrated fumigating items for various specific different types of creatures....but I know that
the termite one kills pretty much everything else that crosses it's path....spiders, ants, scorpions, garrapatas (ticks), unfortunately it also kills
geckos which eat a lot of the smaller pests that find their way inside. Most have long-term residual effect, but are safe for domestic pets once it's
dried. All the ones I've used are concentrates to be mixed with water & applied via a pressurized sprayer.
Dunno in small villages....I'd check hardware stores. Diazone is still sold here.
All Nomads should use this product

This product works extremely well for little biking buggers......

Home Defense...available in most large stores in La Paz, and probably elsewhere. or bring it in with you. works great.mulegemichael - 5-2-2011 at 05:34 PM
bring the strongest "deet" you have available, with you....the repellant down here that's available smells SO bad you won't like it..just focus on the
"deet" part.marv sherrill - 5-2-2011 at 05:52 PM

I dunno.....we are all to drunk on beer (as you said) to come up with a helping hand.longlegsinlapaz - 5-2-2011 at 07:39 PM
Are you looking for something to use on your body or a camp site perimeter??redhilltown - 5-3-2011 at 12:27 AM
good questions! what exactly do you want to repel? deet is amazing on mosquitoes and similar bugs but jejenes from what I've seen (itched?) are an
entirely different matter. best to avoid them...camp away from the beach a ways and have a good tent with the proper netting. they can be brutal
brutal brutal and I bet most nomads have a horror story. backs of legs and elbows and hands seem to be their preferred stomping grounds. so even if
you deet up on them, they will find the weak link.
two weeks after returning from baja and you think "when WILL this ever stop itching!".BajaBlanca - 5-3-2011 at 07:30 AM
I do so hate the jejenes chrisx - 5-3-2011 at 11:26 AM

no.
I am looking for
DDT
which has a long name
DichloroDiphenylTrichloroethane
indoor use, spray, 3 days later all bugs are dead.
take care not to come into direct contact with DDT
note: deet does not work on the pesky little black nats in the mouontains.chrisx - 5-3-2011 at 11:34 AM
Lemon Eucalyptus is second best to deet for mosquitoes, without the health riskmtgoat666 - 5-3-2011 at 11:39 AM

easiest solution for bugs indoors is screens on doors and windows!
ddt? sounds silly. i think it's only used in a few countries for malarial mosquitoes.DENNIS - 5-3-2011 at 11:51 AM

What do you use to keep the flies from swarming around your south end, Goat? Must be something powerful.
