So I basically got eaten alive by what I assume were gnats when I was doing boot camp outside this week. Is there any bug spray or remedies that will take care of these pests so I don't get tormented during a work out? My body is so itchy right now with all the bites I got. Someone told me that most of the insects here don't get bothered by bug repellant...is this true?
those are probably noseeums. yes they are a pain. i usually just deal with them as I haven't found anything which works. But then again I am not allergic to them like some people can be (which is a royal nuisance if you itch after being bit). As long as you're moving (jogging, biking, etc) its usually not too bad.
DEET based pest repellents work great for mosquitoes but nothing i've used seems to noticeably help with the noseeums. Good luck and if you find something, post back here since others have same issues.
I just bought a product at Haddrells tackle call "No Natz". It's supposed to be effective against noseeums which hammer me to. I tried it a little last night but probably didn't give it a proper test. I'll report back after I give it a good legit try.
Off Deep Woods Sportsmen, for most occasions and when I'm turkey hunting deep in the swamps...
Thermocell when deer hunting, or when u need to be odorless.
Skin So Soft works "ok"
I was reading Amazon.com review about Thermocell-said it is toxic???
how long dose cartridge last? I want to try it because I get bitten by bugs (mostly mosquito) a lot.
How is mosquito in Charleston? We will visit there the end of next month.

I'm not sure where you read what you say, but it wasn't off of a Thermocell product.
I checked Amazon.com just to see if you maybe saw something on a sidebar product and thought it was meant for thermocell, but I can't find anything.
I hunt in woods/swamps so hot and humid that you hear squito's so loud around you you'd think someone was running a chainsaw, and this little thing keeps them at bay!
best thing since they finally made the square wheel round IMHO
Ok, it just said on "safety information" "..harmful if inhaled" I think someone who over-reacted said on review that it was toxic.
Thank you, meks, for info! I will try it!
