Default What's best for gnats?
Hi,
I am about to make my first trip to the marsh in a couple of weeks and I am looking for the best thing to help keep the gnats away. I have heard that
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.

Tight mesh bug suit... Hate fishing out of one, but hate gnats more ...

Thermacell's help, but if there is any wind blowing you can forget it...

Amber Romance, have tried other things but can't beat it. Also Avon Skin So Soft lotion helps, just not as good. I worked 7 and 7 in the marsh for over a yr and that is what we used.

Amber romance is $7.50 for a bottle 4 times the size. I will say, the stuff works. My fishing buddy's and I stopped at a little diner in Leesville after fishing Toledo and the waitress smelled just like us. I asked her if she was wearing Amber Romance, she said yes, how did you know? I told her it was my favorite...for bug spray.

I bought the swamp swatter it works but the victoria secret is a lot more cheaper. skin so soft works too. I'd get a misquito net for my head and wear a breathable long sleeve shirt.
