[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2573504, member: 879"] I hate DEET and will not buy it or allow it in my house. Had a similar experience at a friend's house. We were sitting in the back yard on metal chairs painted black. When I got up there were long black marks on the back of my legs where the DEET melted the lawn chair paint. Permethrin on clothing and Picaridin on person works well. I don't know why anyone would want to use DEET. It will eventually destroy everything you own that it touches. Anything painted, plastic, rubber, polyethylene. Belt buckles, recoil pads, ice chests, truck interiors, rain jackets, ponchos, Thermos cups, O-rings, you name it, you can't even imagine all the things DEET can destroy until it is too late. My Leupold Wind River Binoculars--another victim of merciless DEET. They are still sticky after many years. Once DEET touches something it is ruined forever, a horrible stickiness that never goes away, like that movie "The Blob". [/QUOTE]
