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

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.

Good tip. Thanks!

Should be good for camping trips also.
