Little black demons

OK tried my therma cell today...dont waste your money! I think they swarmed closer to it. I let it run for about 2 hours at the front of my boat and my buddy was laughing with a cigg. in his mouth saying I had a black cloud around my head! Put my skin so soft and vanilla mixture on and drove them back to him ;) Still get a few brave ones every so often but didnt get any more bites. Cant stand them bites ,I swell up like I have been beat to death. BTW didnt find any crappie on Ozark pool of the river but caught a few bass.

I took my 6 yr. old grandson fishing today. I was worried the gnats would be too much for him so I threw in some head nets. I also made up a spray bottle of 50/50 Listerine and water like brookz recommended....as soon as it got warm enough for them to come out I sprayed it on both of us.....worked like a charm. I was impressed to say the least. We ended up having a great day and catching fish and was hardly bothered at all, just reapplied every hour to hour and a half. I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate the heads up on the " top secret formula" but a Big Thanks is a start!

I think they bother some folks more than others. I've been out a lot, and while others complain about the gnats, they haven't bothered me. I guess I just stink too much! I had heard about the skin so soft for mosquitoes one time. Turns out all we had in the boat was Skin So Soft in the middle of the White River bottoms. We had the softest mosquitoe bites you ever saw:D

I cleaned 34 crappie Sunday & the flies came around & I sprayed listerine full strength & they disapeared. I sure hope it works on yellow jackets when they start this fall.

Guys thank for the help.

I second the vanilla extract. I learned this from my grandfather and I have been using it for over 30 years and it works for me. :D

I have been taking a shower with a citrus smelling body wash, I have not recieved a bite, they are tearing every one up except me, ps we work
in the mississippi river delta.
