    Default Gnats are horrible!


    My last 2 trips to my favorite crappie lakes turned into misery, because of the gnats- Is there something you can spray or whatever to get rid of them. At least keep them away from your face?

    I've always gone with the tested and proven military option: Permethrin spray. I use it on all my clothing (good for 1/2 doz. washings) and 90% plus DEET lotion for my ankles, neck and face. I don't get bothered much.

    Ya'll may not be talking about the same variety of gnats. Long way from here to Maine. Plus we have 4 or more types.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    I agree with the Permethrin. It is expensive if you get the real thing- but good stuff.

    Tea Tree oil is what they use in GA. At least Papasage and crew. Stinky stuff but works.
