I wouldn't really recommend this, but in a pinch it did the job. We had forgot mosquito repellent one trip to our farm. That particular time, the mosquitos were awful. I had Windex in the house, so we sprayed our clothes and it WORKED!! The kid was only about 5 years old at the time and now several years later, I have caught her going for the Windex to use as mosquito repellent.
