I sit I watch lap after lap, the water splash then calm.. then I hear a buzz.. I see it then the buzz stops. I smack my forehead but I am too late the vicious vicious creature sucks my blood leaving a welt the size of a quarter. The welt wakes me up at night scratching. How can such a little vicious creature create such havoc, they are family funsuckers.
For the month of July every year we live at the pool.. we are there at 8am to 10 am every morning, swim meets 2 twice a week going for about 5 hours. That’s is right I am a pool Mom. I watch my kids swim for hours hoping that they will swim a 50 yards in less than 30 seconds. My family is a swim family, which means we are near water and heat all summer. Being out doors all summer there is always a constant companion .. the Mosquitoes and bugs.. which I am in not a fan of of the funsuckers.
My husband Jeff, I have said in the past is covered in psoriasis- so the bugs love him, he is not a fan of them. He prefers to stay indoors all summer because the bugs tasted for his blood. But we both support our competitive swimming kids, so the two of us try to make the best of the bugs. He always carries Cutter® insect repellent in his pocket., he actually has been know to return to the house if he forget his Cutter®, which is a necessity.
We Keep Cutter® insect repellent in the Pool Bag, near the back door, bottle near the front door, in the car, and on my husbands person.. I am so not joking really.
I really love the Cutter® line this season they are so easy to use and perfect from my family with so many great products that are convenient keeping away the FunSuckers: .
- Cutter® Dry – Is a spray can and the bug repellent goes on dry and not greasy
- Cutter® Skinsations – is wonderful, my daughter and I use it daily when fighting of the bugs in the yard.
- Cutter® Family Wipes- are great because they are refreshing and also provide a Insect repellent protection. They work great when you are in a tight spacial area like a Ball Game where you don’t want an over spray to hit the people or food around you.
Be sure to check out Cutter® Facebook fanpage for a great giveaway. http://on.fb.me/VlNAVm to learn more about products and their “like to win” promotions that happen weekly/bi-weekly in the news feed, making it easy to enter.
We love experience summer in all it glory and Cutter® really allows us to do so as a family.

Oh I think I will check out the wipes. I haven’t seen them as wipes before
Boy are those bugs fun suckers! My dd7 and I are magnets for them.
I’d like to try the wipes, too! We are in the Keys and I am afraid we’ll all get Dengue Fever, even though the mosquito trucks are out spraying.
I need to look into those wipes, i wish i knew about them when i sent my little guy to camp and he thought applying bug spray correctly meant one spray for the week. The wipes would have been nice and easy for him to use.
I really need to try the skinsations, the other night at dinner I got 5 bug bites eating outside, ouch!
I’ve been a long time fan of Cutter products. They’re reliable and safe!
