To keep bugs out of the MH, we've found that the "No Pest Strips" work pretty well. We hang it in the bathroom so it's not hear the food. But, in a 24' Class C, it's still able to effect bugs in the whole rig from there.
Outside the RV, we often set up a "perimeter" with mosquito coils. Not ONE sitting between us. Instead, we light 3-5 coils per person in camp. They seem to work well against mosquitos, no see ums, whitesox and about any other flying bug we have in Alaska.
And, the 100% DEET, as evil as it is keeps bugs away. But, I never apply it with the palms of my hands. I put it on the backs of my hands and rub it on myself that way. I've seen people leave hand/finger prints in all kinds of things by having it on their hands and then touching anything plastic or with any kind of finish: steering wheel, gun stock, plastic drinking glass.... and more.
On a side note, as a kid, finding the No Pest Strips seemed easy. Not so much anymore!
