A spray bottle of generic Listerine (the brown stuff), and spray on picnic tables, coolers, etc. The wife and I went camping this weekend to a place we've been chased out of by the nasty creatures. Spent Fri, Sat, and Sun in peace. Anytime they started to show up, I gave the whole area a few more shots, and they were GONE!! I'll never go out without it again.

Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
Mesquitos too? coastal bend south Texas,they are tiny,but enough of them to carry you away.Tried fabric softner sheets in pockets-no good!
Coastal Bend mosquitos small? Not down near Corpus. Them things have impact deployed air bags too. Smack them once and their little air bags deploy saving their lives, gotta hit 'em again to kill 'em.

one of my friends runs a restaurant/drive thru he has small clear garbage bags 1/4 full of water,i asked why he had them hanging at the door to the drive thru he said no flies,they think it's hornets nest or something
My friend in Florida put some zip top bags filled half way with water on the top part of the door frame. With the flies multi eyes it's supposed to make them think it is a solid wall of water and prevent them from flying into the house. Not surprisingly it DOES NOT work in the least. A complete and total waste of plastic bags and water.

i will have to remember that
Hanging baggies with water in them? Is that politically correct conversion from what it's suppossed to be?
The "real" way does work, but, is quite disgusting to think about.
What "might" work? Baggies with water in them and a bit of yellow food coloring.
I'm more interested in the Listerene thing though, never heard if that, and I like the idea much better than hanging baggies of........anything. Sure wouldn't want to gargle the wrong stuff though.
I think the new secret color is "A-Rig"..........
We use dryer sheets to ward off the black flies in Canada. Put then in your shoes and sticking out of your hatches. It's not 100%, but we get bit WAY less then our buddies. We found that the cheapest and smelliest ones work the best. I use "Flavorite" most of the time. The great thing is that your boat has that "fresh out of the dryer" smell for weeks.
