Here on the florida coast we have a tiny biting gnat that will drive you more crazy than the biggest flock of mosquitos. Does anyone know of a repellent that actually works on these buggers. I have tried OFF but they interpret it as ON.
Anybody from Florida (TREECLIMBER, HUNTINGMA) have a good repelent for these. Planning on taking the kids crabbing Saturday night and hope to get protection from these pesky critters.

Try avon skin so soft.Lotion or the new spray.

Benhunting; as bullsi said. skin-so-soft from avon.it is a little slick,or oily type lotion.(but it works!) it also works to get fleas off a small puppy(like a day old) just pour a little in your hands and rub the pup all over and you will see then fall off.[X(][:-]

we call them sand gnats!!!

amway D15 insect spray works also.it is a little costly,but a can will last a looong time.it will make you feel hot if you get in the sun till it drys.[>:]

Find yourself a crepe myrtle bush, crush up some leaves and rub them on your skin.

Ben just saw your post.First thing to learn,no see-ums are NOT mosquitoes.Yes skin so soft will work.Things for mosquitoes don' t work.
