Gnats

Anyone else having a gnat problem. They're out of control around my house. Off doesn't work on those bastards either. Any suggestions?

Try Victoria secret "amber romance" lotion or perfume...you might smell like a $2 hooker but that stuff works when I'm fishing in the marsh.

I bought this stuff on amazon for $8 called Buggins. Has a vanilla smell. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but if it doesn’t work I’ll be buying some amber romance.

I can tell you what doesn't work - Sunsect. Pretty sure that stuff actually attracts more of them.

Don't waste your time.
Get 2 bottles of Amber Romance on sale. They're usually sitting on a table 2 for $20 and nothing is ever gonna work that good and give you cover when you go to the strip club too.
Bites from those bull gnats are no joke.

I did some research a while back and amber romance has vanilla and citrus oils in it. That’s what repels the gnats. It legit works according to everyone I know that has tried it.

They are everywhere around here, the love to hover around my truck door...when I open it half of em are sucked into the vacuum created and they go all in the cab.

Here’s what I do, tip off from an older sacalait fisherman that’s golden. Regular ole squirt bottle, vanilla extract and rubbing alcohol. Heck, I have even used the imitation extract with the same results. Just mix the two in a squirt bottle and spray it on yourself. Cheap and doesn’t smell strong.

They made my arse quit the other day. They just laughed at my Off Deep Woods spray.

I just ordered amber romance off of amazon. Ten minutes later, my girlfriend texted me saying someone has hacked our account and that she changed the password

Years ago the go-to for gnat repellent was Avon's Skin So Soft, but I see others mentioning another product. The problem I found with Skin So Soft was how sweet it smelled, but it did work and that was much better than fighting gnats.

The only way I have found skin so soft to work is to have enough on you to drown them when they land. Same for off

I remember that Avon skin so soft worked great for gnats in cocodrie when I was a kid w/ my paw paw

Sugarless vanilla extract, cut it with water, and we mix in a lemon scent or something similar. Put it in a spray bottle and rock and roll

Cactus Juice Sunscreen works too.

Citronellol!

Yep, same case here.
The wife picked up something today that is made here in New Roads. Don't know what is in it, but it is working. Even sprayed my dog and he is happy. Dam bull gnats are thick here.
