Yup, lots of them up this way, need to bring out the bug juice again.
I may break down & buy a good summer bug Jacket w/ pockets.
Spanky watch out for the ones than can carry you off. Dave

We have the same blood sucking gnats here too. It was such a warm mild witer with not enough cold weather to kill the critters. Mosquitos aren't bad yet but I'm sure they will get worse as the summer progresses. We had a very bad yellow jacket summer a year ago, and I am sure it will be worse this year.

Yello Jackets are nasty here right now. We are spraying at work to keep the peace.

Bug jacket sounds like a good idea...is there such a thing? I've tried the meshed head gear...feel like I'm in commando mode....scares the $$##@@# out of me looking in the mirror
My wife is all ready terrified I'll walk outside with my head lamp
and gear on and my neighbour sees me

If your in Canuk land, try Canadian tire, there about $40.00. Full hood & jacket. I don't know if the US has a Canadian Tire!

Ok, just checked, they have web site you can order from
Canadian......ca Dave

I'm glad we don't have skeeters. That's what I don't miss about the Midwest.

Spray WD-40 in their nests and it's all over.

I purchased the suite I am wearing here for my prospecting trips to Alaska. Check the link here, http://www.bugshirt.com/diagrams.htm
The pesky buggers are really bad and nothing bit me wearing this suite. I bought the camo pants and top. Ya this is a photo of me the outfit. I am sure you can purchase stuff for less, but it's definatly worth every buck I spent.

 

[Spanky]

The way gas is going up I may need to use the wd40 to start my car

 

[Spanky]

Thanks Dave I'm a gonna check them out.

Interesting selection I had no idea you could get outfits like that. All the hiking I did on bush trails nearly did me in last year.Dang skitters eat you.Zero hour is 1/2 hour before dark. We have the West Nile problem here as well.My wife knows someone who has it pretty bad.
Thanks for the information!
