I hunt swamps in Florida, and I understand how you feel. I use permanone. When I first get set up I have the little buggers swarming all around me. within 5 minutes they are all gone! Actually their dead. A few minutes later another one will show up but she will die also. This sstuff is scent free and sprays on your clothes, not your skin. Just read the directions on the can and use it the way it says.
