Coach friend of mind told me they Had to cancel practice yesterday they were so bad.

There's only one product to place your hope in.

On all seriousness these things suck. Makes it's very difficult to go outside, spraying OFF is a waste time.

I dunno about bull knats but does anyone know why bull gnats just started begin terrible in the last few years? I don't ever remember them when I was a kid. Seems like they started getting bad in 2011.

gnats are the most useless insect there is, I have probably taken off years of my life with all the off I spray down with just to get outside and work in the yard during the summer

Repel Sportsmen Max Formula Insect Repellent works really good for them, but it stinks and its hard to get that smell off you after.

i was getting swarmed and put it on, they stopped biting me but were still flying into my ears, eyes, mouth, and nose, freakin bastids are bad right now

just FYI if anyone looking for something new to try

they have been awful this spring here in the delta in arkansas. dead deer everywhere. they're losing horses and cows as well. a lot of people have been setting large smoke fires for the deer and such, its unreal.

i have heard, but cannot verify, that theres something from bed bath and beyond that is magic, i think its like "warm brown sugar vanilla" or some shite like that. they've calmed down a little the past couple weeks bc of the cold snaps, but its been bad. I've heard some saying that we could lose 60-70% of our deer herd in the bottoms because of this.

Never had luck with that crap. Marsh fishing in the winter, the gnats will eat you. Tried that crap to many times with no relieve.

Amber Romance for some reason really, really works. Funny how Victoria Secrets sex spray for women is being used way more as bug repellent for southern men...

is this the same as No-See-Ums? If so yeah they do suck, and 50/50 mix of real vanilla extract and rubbing alcohol works
