Keeping Skeeters and No-See-Ums Away From the Dock.
 

Citronella is partially effective, but there's a lag time for the fumes
to work. And I don't like open flame on my dock.
Is there a low-power light that will do the job?
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Just spray it very lightly on your arms, legs (if exposed), then spray a
little on your hands
and wipe it on your face and neck.

Not only will it keep the 'skeeters and no-see-ums at bay, you'll smell
purty too.

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.
