What's best for gnats?

[jsethl13]

I have no idea what to use bc I usually just try and cover myself head to toe in clothing until the wind starts blowing. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this entire post and laughing out loud. Good stuff! Guess I'll be hitting up my local Victoria Secret soon since you guys have learned me up. Thx again for the info and the laughs.

Long socks and big rubber bands around your ankles helps. Long sleeve shirts and neck gaiters (the tube-shaped fabric the Florida guys use for sun protection on neck, ears and cheeks) help a great deal.

I've never used the Amber Romance, but the Swamp Swatter has worked very well. And it's a local company.

I have heard of good results from a spray called Rhino spray. They use it on the Georgia coast where the biting gnats are the worst I have ever seen.

Swamp Swatter, why didn't you want to sell to Wal-mart?

thats the ticket... you can get the lotion too. If its hot I find the lotion lasts longer cause you dont sweat it off as fast

victoria secret amber romance works well but I wanted to see if there is anything new out there that might be better.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

any kind of fragrance with vanilla in it. my grandpa used to make his own out of vanilla extract

I guess im hard headed but I cant stand those screen bags on your head so I rather stay home then use them.

I also stick one in front and back shirt collar and in each sleeve to keep em off my hands

for some reason I find they are attracted to your breath so it helps to wear a rag over your mouth and nose and it also helps so you don't inhale them

damn little invisible piranha make fishing tough on calm days

Mix a couple drops of vanilla extract into a spray bottle of water and apply as needed or use Avon SSS.
