Instead of bug spray for their backpack and clothes, has anyone tried stuffing a few dryer sheets into their packs?

I can't believe dryer sheets will deter bedbugs. They will, however, give me a blazing migraine.

We use dryer sheets (Bounce) when we camp to thwart mosquitos and deer flies. Works great. Not sure about the bedbugs though.

Well. On second thought, the stuff is so insidious it might just work. Maybe someone would be willing to use it at Hornillos and report back? :shock: :shock:

Are there any other "creepy/crawly" things to worry about?

LAVENDER-scented dryer sheets have been suggested to fight bed bugs. I always travel with 4-5 spread on the suitcase just in case....making Grandma proud
