While working in one of our remote communities, myself and 2 other employees decided we'd go fishing one evening. We took the truck into the upstream backwoods. Blackflies were terrible, so we lathered up in Muskol and headed for the water. Fishing was good, it started to rain, and it got dark. With...

Well, for the first two years I had the bug spray but not the ride on mower, and while I got a weekly workout by...

Our yearly Algonquin trip was nearing and the four of us couldn't wait! We typically go in September to hopefully avoid most bugs, but we thought this year we'd try June. I knew it would be different, but didn't realize HOW different. We loaded up our two canoes and headed in on the longest day of the...

I was at my ladies horseshoe league night, and we were being literally carried away by the mosquitos! One of our fellow players just happened to have a bottle of Muskol in her car so we all gathered round and sprayed ourselves! We ran out by the time the night was finished! Thanks Muskol, that night...

I love gardening. On any given day, if the weather behaves, I can be found in my garden planting, weeding and enjoying my flowers and plants. However, being outside can difficult when the mosquitos are present. Muskol is a great product that keeps me in my yard, and the pests away.

We were vacationing in Picton, a small town on the shores of the Georgian Bay on Lake Ontario. At the urging of my wife, I prepared my kids for a couple of hours of fishing.

We love to go camping at a beautiful lake here on Vancouver Island. The mosquitos can drive you crazy when the sun goes down and the wind on the lake dies down. Instead of being chased into the tent we can sit outside and sing by our campfire late into the night because we use Muskol!

I have back-packed up the Mt.Robson trail in the BC rockies nine times since I was 16 years old. Most years the bugs aren't too bad as the cooler weather of May prevents them from being hatched.

I live in a rural area and enjoy gardening. I live every day with mosquitoes and black flies. They bother me the most in mornings and early evenings. If I didn't spray on Muskol before going outside I wouldn't have a garden. Muskol enables me to relax and enjoy all my gardening activities.
