Will we be able to find mosquito repellant products on STJ? We will be bringing the personal products with DEET and others, but will we be able to find things like Yard Guard or mosquito coils to use at the villa? If so, will I find them at Starfish Mkt or can you recommend somplace else?

I think you can get a 10 pack of mosquito coils at the hardware store in the Starfish Marketplace. Also, stop by Ruth's place and get one of those zappers. It's going to be my first stop!

If there are any left - St John Hardware on the second floor of the Marketplace will have coils - Yard Guard they may have - couldn't find any when I was in there last week 🙁

Plenty of sprayable Deet available 🙂

in my own experience the only thing that works for me is the green can of OFF i think it's the deep woods off everything else just seems to make them smell better and does nothing to deter them

I have the aerosol cans of Yard Guard but they are not allowed in either checked or carryon luggage. At least I think so. Guess this warrants a check of the TSA website.
