Asorbine Jr works like a champ if you are outdoors for a extended time.

I put it under the bill of my cap while golfing and I am never bothered.

My oldest son and I cut down some branches today that were bent and/or broken from last nights storm

We did this around 2:00 and we were covered in gnats. So annoying.

I always think of them attacking more around dusk.

Fishing close to the MS River today. Nothing worked except total coverage.

Unfortunately they were the worst in the trees where the fish were biting.

Just had embrace the suck.

Seems like the Buffalo gnats have migrated a bit. Seeing them in places I haven’t before.

You don’t live within 5-10 miles of the river do you? It’s more like a month or two.

Cut a hole in your britches to keep them out of your face. You’re welcome.

Mix vanilla extract and water in a small spray bottle.

Cover yourself in it.

Smell like a cookie and profit.

Because the snakes are eating all the frogs that would normally eat the gnats.

It has to be a combination of Jim Crowe laws, Covid and global climate change......

They are bad where I live and also on the levee when I go run or walk. I can never remember them being this bad.


Same here. They swarmed me for my entire run yesterday on the levee. Woke up this morning with 3 itchy bites on my back. Gonna spray some repellent next time.

Monroe, near the river, stupid things ate me up. Off helped stop them from biting but still flew at eyelids, ears, nose holes. Ended up accidentally eating about 10 of them.
