“I keep a pair of Skeeters in the glovebox
of our GMC Yukon because my wife and I like to hike at any given opportunity. They fit perfectly over the back door windows, providing ventilation so we don’t have to get in a stifling car after a long hike! If we spend the night in our ‘SUV tent alternative,’ it’s nice to be able to get in and out of the vehicle while the screens stay in place over the window. Great design!”
Last summer my 10 year old daughter and I went camping to Dinosaur
Provincial Park in southern Alberta. We set up our tent, and were swarmed by ravenous mosquitoes. When we walked around the campsite we saw signs warning of black widow spiders, scorpions and rattlesnakes in the park. I didn't
know there were scorpions anywhere in Canada! Anyways, there was no way Hannah was going to sleep on the ground, so we set up our sleeping bags in the back of my Grand Vitara. It was the longest, hottest night of my life,
temperature in the low 90's. We couldn't open the windows or sunroof because the mosquitoes were so bad. If you had a booth in that park you could sell your Skeeter Beaters for a thousand dollars each. (I would have bought two at
that price!) We're planning our next camping trip this Spring to Death Valley in our new 2008 Volkswagen Passat Wagon equipped with a pair of Skeeter Beaters!
