SC PING!
Nature stuff ping!
I'll share another good repellent with you. Treat your dog with a good, internal flea and tick repellent, like Frontline. Then, spend a lot of time with your dog, petting him. Insects seem to stay away from you then.
Previously, I would be put into bed for a week by these critters every spring until I had developed a resistence. My lymph nodes would swell up like walnuts.
My 2 cents is if you ever go beach camping make sure your tent has no see-um screens.
Formally known as swamps.
Bring back DDT
sand flea...is it male or female ?
My gal pal and I were planting our vegetable garden last night...absolutely swarmed by flying teeth! Insect repellent just slowed them down.
Why not, is it top secret?
I was raised near a lot of mosquitos and I downright hate them. I would honestly trade my own life in exchange for a mosquito specific Worldwide Elimination of the MoFo’s. Cross my heart and hope to die stick a needle in my eye - that is the seriousness of the total and utter disregard for mosquito’s and as I have recently discovered (the hard way) SandGnats. I killed those things all night long and I didn’t have very many. Flypaper caught 30 and I swatted about 20 while the few remaining I misted the air and corners of the apartment with Raid Fresh Scent Fly Spray. I have absolutely no respect for the lives of biting gnats and also mosquitos. Cockroaches are welcome guests compared to these flying trash life/death. Amen.
I became extremely allergic to DEET after an overdose a few years ago. I found a net shirt called Bug Out at a hunting and fishing show and it keeps mosquitoes off me. There is a hood that will go completely over your face if you need it. It also comes with pants.
the solution to the no see-um is well known and very effective
the Avon product called Skin So Soft is totally effective repelling no-see-ums
