Default RE: How do you deal with gnats

We decided that there are bionic gnats out there this year. We have 20 + mph winds and they still didn't leave. Worse yet, they just seemed to follow where ever we went. Lost two arrows thanks to them being in the ears or eyes. Thermacell is not effective against the mutant gnats in NY. Might have to try the vanilla

maybe try a little of that scent block bug spray....that way you maintain your scentlessness and keep the knats at bay too. (I think I just invented a word!)

Is their such a creature? I know people use to say that No Stinking Bugs was scent free, but was always afraid to try it. And since I have not heard of anyone using it anymore, I assume it was not as advertised.

It's easy. You move to a state that you can't hunt until 10-18 when the gnats are all gone[:@]

Shannon Bug Tamer. Pricey, but there are times that the value of proper equipment is not measured in dollars. For me, being eaten by gnats is one of those times.
