Insect repellents are as low as $3 right now: Stock up before midnight

Yesterday, my mother came over to babysit my daughter. Within two hours of being here, she got stung by a handful of yellowjackets, who had apparently made a massive nest under my porch railing. Fueled by a newfound fiery hatred I now feel toward pests, I swarmed to Amazon to load up on enough chemicals to open my own laboratory. I was pleased to find that most were massively marked down for Amazon Prime Day.

Whether you're living with mosquitos, wasps, fleas, and — the worst of all — ticks, there are about 100 different options you can find from Off!, Raid, Thermacell, and Stem, all of which are on sale today. Stock up while prices are low; you're gonna need these all summer long, but won't find them this cheap again (as low as $3!) until Black Friday.
