Thanks for the tip on the bug repellent. Menard’s is on our usual rounds when we have an Errand Day. The gnats are awful some mornings when I’m out watering and it’s still shaded. I tried a spray we had on hand and it didn’t work all that well, so I will try the ‘Trek.’

“The biggest pain is all the cleanup...”

That’s where *I* always seem to come in, in the operations around here, LOL!

We took down a massive Cottonwood last summer, and ‘The Last Ash Standing’ in Wisconsin that finally gave it up to those @#$%^&! Ash Borers. :(

Hi, Diana! Thanks!

Results may vary with species of insect, and definitely with light vs. dark (those gnats I was inhaling are very strongly attracted to my head worn flashlight — why can’t the makers of those get smart and make UV-filtered-out-versions? — but, the other night I was fairly impressed. Hope it works for you.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the mfgr. or Menards, except as a customer.
