Really, all I can find are these little girlie bottles of cedar oil. I want DEET! Does it not exist here in Korea? Seoul to be exact.

I'm going fishing during the holidays, and I don't want a few mosquitos wrecking it. I HATE THEM. I don't normally like being around chemicals, but I will bath in a vat of DEET to be able to avoid just 1 bite!

The Red Door shop in Itaewon usually has it. If she doesn't have it, she will probably order it for you. It would be there in a day or two, I think.

OFF is available at the Homeplus in Dobong-gu, near the Dobong fire station near Nowon.

Should you not be close to this Homeplus, I'm pretty sure you can find it any Homeplus or Emart in Korea. Look in the home deodorizing section of the store, where all the Glade products are, as well as bug killer. They have the kind in the bottle and the kind in an aerosol.

Yeah, I found it today, it's the 'Family Care' line, only has 10% DEET in it, not the 25% like in Deep Woods, but it'll do. I'll be in grassland, near a stream, so hopefully it'll be fine, thanks!
