I normally have a problem when I go to S Jersey in the summer with gnats, no see ums etc, but this year I get eaten alive just bringing the garbage out. It's cloudy and breezy now, about 4:30pm and was out on the patio enjoying the nice breeze with bug spray on. I got 3 new bites in just 15 Min's to add to others and I stay indoors a lot. I have a tendency for the bugs to like me but this is ridiculous. Any comments?

I visit family in Manahawkin and have to stay inside as I am very familiar with greenhead bugs!!!!

It's genetic, as they don't bother my Dad or Brother but love Me and my Mom.

Yes!

Funny thing is, I don't seem to see stink bugs anymore? Did the gnats, flies and skeeter's eat them all up?

I would advise you to get a more effective insect repellant.
Just last week, the year's first case of West Nile Virus was noted in a patient in South Jersey.



Normally, bites from mosquitoes and other insects are merely annoying, but getting bitten by an insect carrying West Nile Virus could be life-threatening!
