Anyone else have these critters showing up? Man, they fogged me this morning at the shop..I dread them things, they swell me up like a snake bite.....My X told me to start taking vitamin B-1, says it will keep them off me?? Anyone ever heard of that? Since she's my X, I don't just take any pill she suggests...lol
Vanilla extract diluted with a little water. Get a little sticky but it sure does work. You may have to reapply about every hour or so.
Best thing to do for those gnats is to place the gnat on a brick then take a second brick and slap them together. It's a little slow, but absolutley deadly. The second thing you can try is to rub on some Old Spice. It won't keep the gnats off but may attract a woman who can tell you what to take for gnats without you fearing for your liferotfl
vanilla
Are THEY back already??? SSHHHHHUUUZZAAAAMMM!!! We used vanilla extract and mouthwash diluted with water in a spray bottle. Keeps them off fairly well but you still have that cloud 1/2 inch from your skin all over your face. Just don't take any real deep breaths.....
Roflmbo....I wait til they are engorged with MY blood, then,,pull their wings off and break all the legs on one side, they circle around,,but on the ground, when they get weak, I apply the BIC........I REALLY do hate them!Quote:

Hate them thangs. They taste bad too. Lol

the cheap vanilla flavoring will work just as good as the vanilla extract. i keep a bottle in every boat and in my truck. put it on every exposed part of your head, face and neck. the turtle swears by absorbine jr. and some say avon something so soft.
Id rather do tha naughty with alchol and glass as i would mess with them D@## things im juast as allergic to them as i am poision ivy/oak!!! and yes i heard vanilla and mouthwash both work so does the Flambeu thing
Well guys, its uh, confession time, I can't use the vanilla that so many reccomend..Its silly I guess, but when I was growing up, the girls used vanilla flavoring to "smell pretty" I can't even pass a bakery without getting all excited,,,and SOS, by Avon (skin so soft) is so danged slick, greasy, and it burns like heck when sweat trickles it down into your eyes...Then some reccomended mouthwash, heck,,a man start useing that stuff and in no time, he'd be useing deodorant and such stuff as that. I guess I'll have to take those vitamin B-1 pills my X told me about, I do appreciate all your replies though!!!
yea I tried everything under the sun, nothing works x. hate to be the bearer of bad new but its true! best thing to use is a bug suit, trust me
last year they swormed over my head so bad I was mistaken fer one of them dot heads with a 2ft turbin on top
I wonder if a thermacell would work, and I heard taking some kind of garlic pill will help repell insects and prolly everybody from bothering you too.
100% deet works really well, just stings the skin a little. Also bullfrog sunblock with insect repellent in it works good, you kill two birds with one stone, sun protection and bug protection.
X2 on the Vanilla
Take a bath every once in a while between fishing trips!!!!!
No way man, no way.Quote:
