Subject: [Leica] Skeeter bait

Tina will probably have a better suggestion, since I would imagine that the 
skeeters in Honduras are the size of Harrier jets, but I have had success with 
"Deep Woods Off" which is about 100% Deet. Just be careful not to let it come 
in contact with anything plastic (including camera parts) since it tends to 
turn plastic to goo! The other day, it effectively repelled the dreaded biting 
flies while I was amidst the flowers shooting with my M6.
