Keep Mosquitoes Away

Everyone's had a summer evening ruined by mosquitoes. Learn what really works to prevent that irritation. Fun and easy to read, this book by Brett Ortler contains everything you need to understand-- and avoid--mosquitoes.

  • A review of CDC-recommended repellents and products
  • A rundown of junk products, superstitions and other "repellents" that don't work
  • A simple introduction to the science of mosquitoes
  • A review of mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria and West Nile virus

    Amazing mosquito-related facts: Did you know that the U.S. military issued mosquito-related propaganda during World War II? One of the artists they hired was none other than Dr. Seuss.
