I don't like zappers. The noise of insects dying drives me bonkers.

Take fresh Lemon Balm or Lemon Tyme and rub it on your clothing, and
hat. It will keep everything away.You should be able to buy the plants
at your local Garden Center.
DO NOT rub it on the skin.

Thanks for the advice slammer.
You're a real real gentleman when you're not being a punk ass.

Zappers usually dont' work well on mosquitos anyhow. but for moths and
light-drawn bugs they work well, but you know that anyhow. Some time
ago, my dad made a bug chopper using a round flourescent light with a
small fan in the middle. Bugs get drawn to the light, get sucked in,
and get thrown out the back in little pieces. It worked pretty well
actually.

I really don't know, but if you can stand the kerosene smell, I've
heard Tiki Torches workk pretty good.


What was that green coil stuff that smoldered that they used to sell
at drive-in movie theater?. Those things were awful!

I've heard eating a bunch of vitamin B-12 works too. But you end up
smelling like vitamins, and it only works on an individual basis.
