It is not really that bad. Of course I have been here so long that I probably don't notice them much. However, I have been sitting outside on the patio in the late afternoon early evening and nary a gnat to be found! It is usually more of a "you are sweating" thing for the most part, however sometimes they can be "gnatting" around your head and face at any time.

This will sound like I made this up, but if you will put a dryer sheet (bounce, downey etc..) under your hat, it really will keep the gnats away from your face! This really does work! My step-son always did it, usually in the middle of summer when they were the worst, whenever he cut grass! Looks a little odd, but works well! (And you are "april fresh"!!)

FlourChild- Hopefully it won't be too bad. After many years of dealing with the love bugs in Florida that I mentioned, and the mosquitoes down there that I didn't mention, hopefully however bad the gnats are, I'm accustomed to dealing with pesty flying bugs. Guess we'll see though!

Katsmeeyow- Thanks for the tip in keeping the gnats away. That is rather unusual, in fact it's so unusual that if they do ever get to gnatting me too bad, I couldn't help but to remember that tip...thanks!

Heh. Having a dryer sheet in your cap may look a little odd, but constantly scowling and waving in front of your face like you just lost a chili cookoff looks a lot odder.

FlourChild- Ha..no doubt that does look even odder! Thing is though, is I never wear a ballcap or any kinda hat, so I'll probably end up being one of the ones scowling and waving in front of my face like I just lost a chili cookoff, unless I can perhaps invent and maybe patent some sort of a chinstrap for holding a dryer sheet on an uncapped head. Hmmm.. that might just be the oddest looking of the three though...
