Is there a low-power light that will do the job?

They work far better than cintronella. *There is a flame, but it's
tiny and hidden. *The wind does diminish the effectiveness. *I use one
on the deck... it's the best thing I've found so far.
Oh, and the hose end "Yard Guard" is good stuff too. *You spray your
yard, shrubbery and even the exterior surfaces of your house with this
stuff. *You have to wait for it to dry, and it does wash away in the
rain, but for an "event" you can apply in the morning and that
afternoon / evening you'll have a nearly bug-free time.
Thanks, Jack.
Both look good.
Y'all may laugh, and I've mentioned this before, but this stuff works for
mosquitoes and no-see-ums
better than anything else I've ever used. * Safe for human use.

Rich. That's got to be better than "Off!"
Off doesn't work at all. I use Cutters at the tracks and always end up
letting "Off" users use my Cutters when the Deep woods off fails
miserably.
I know, I know, Deet, but if you are going to use it, might as well use
it in a mixture that works on bugs
Either way, I am going to order a
bottle of the stuff Dick suggests, as I am not happy about all that Deet
at all.
