Soaking no.4 in insect repellent when going outfield.
-
i wore a glove on my right hand when soaking it. when i picked them up, i used my left hand and felt nothing.Originally posted by NathanG5:got wear latex glove anot?

permethin or something
kinda ok la..
but the mozzies are immune to it already...
a waste of time..... -
done this during reservist training for 4d3n exercise at Simpang early this year... not much smell after dry. When soak cant tahan... mosquito still come cos we wear t-shirt instead of no 4 top while digging trenches....Originally posted by Gordonator:saw in the papers a few weks ago that SAF is making all soldiers going outfield for exercise to soak their no.4 in insect repellent so as to fight dengue mosquitos.
what's is your take on this?
after two days, cant tahan all the sweat/smell on NO4, change to a new pair without the insect repellant.... -
where got time? BCTC 2 days, by the time book in, soak uniform, allow to dry, bctc over already. And if you old birds remember, BCTC along with tekong areas have some of the best trained commando mossies around.

Its quite effective.
One of my section mates brought it up to bunk and let it dry on the table.As it was soaking wet,there were puddles of water dripping onto the chairs.
And guess what we saw in the morning.
A whole grp of mosquitoes were lying dead in the puddles of water.
But i believe the mosquitoes are immune to it by now. -
G and K company should be more worried since they are so close to that godforsaken swamp.
