does it work??

A squaddie friend of mine swears by (ahem...) Avon skin so soft.
He reckons that since he's been (erm...) moisturising with this the gnats/midgies leave him alone!

(Must be the cheap scent then)

We've had loads of those tiny thin 2mm long things, they were absolutely swarming for about 3 days last week. It makes you feel like your skin and hair is constantly crawling. The worst past is they come in through all the vents in the lid, blasted through into eyes and mouth. Little bastards.

DEET does work if it is sufficiently strong.

It is quite a nasty chemical though so use it sparingly, only on exposed skin and preferrably on your clothing rather than your skin.

I usually put two squirts in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together then wipe them over my face, neck, forearms and round my ankles (to stop the little buggers going up my trouser legs). Don't forget to do your ears.

Don't get it on your lips or eyelids and make sure you wipe it off your hands before handling anything plastic or you'll melt it.

WIMPS!!!

My mates just got one of THESE!!

Much more fun! We trapped a wasp against the glass with it and pressed the button. I was more than a little shocked when the wasp set on fire!!!!

Mozzies? Pah, nothing compared to those nasty vindictive female Horseflies.

Those things damn hurt and you don't notice them until it's too late, then you have a swelling the size of a golfball for a week. Gits

Deet is great, but I really do worry about using a chemical that was developed by the US Army!!

DEET!! , that shit burns you skin if strong enough

take it like a er woman ,

or piss into a bucket and keep it outside , sweat contains tiny amounts of urea salt or something , which is what mozzies use to detect you.


Or be nasty if you have a BF sabotage his showers so he stinks mozzies will go after him.

Or hit the problem at source , go find the pools of stagnant water they lay their eggs in and pile on several spades of sand/soil , if its bigger stagnant still water put some hardy fish intothem like stickle backs which'll eat the mozzies while they are laying their eggs.

Lakes and rivers don't count as its moving water

When they are this thick, you need some chemical warfare.

I got really caught out by the gits a month or so ago in Snowdonia. A black swarm descended on us as I was erecting the tent.

It only took me 10 minutes maximum but next day I noticed they'd got me just above the waistline where I'd been stooping over around 50-60 times

[BanditBitch]

I got 11 really nasty bites, its not funny now....the dirty, crawly, fugging things.

[ram_doom]

I got bitten by mosquito's in Texas, but they dont compare to the british horsefly horsefly bites are far more painful and they give me a horrible bump of a reaction, fluid seeping nightmare bumpage

We have an electronic flyswat in the flat.
It makes a satisfying crack, and small puff of smoke when you make contact.

Yes i've noticed it a lot more this year, must have been those damn horseflies that got me because i was covered in lumps on my back which went down after a week but left big purple bruises. Little barstools
