    you need to put vanilla extract on your face, neck, ears, etc. the buffalo gnats will leave you alone.

    The worst are those in and out gnats and the dreaded dog -pecker gnats.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    You must use imitation vanilla. If you use the real stuff they will eat you alive.

    I'm going to Florida next week to fish the mangrove swamps. The sand fleas will eat you alive unless you use bug spray. Anything with about 30% DEET works great.

    Don't even think about using a Thermocell. I think the buffalo gnats love that thing. Imitation vanilla works best for me with them. But deet will usually work too but it will melt plastic, even the cap that comes on the bottle, as well as damage other things, so I avoid using it.
