I have used it but must reapply often !

I dread Turkey Season now...Them suckers always end up flying into my eye and let me tell you, it burns, hurts, and eye swells almost shut. Never have any problems with them biting me though.

Just deep breath with your mouth open and catch as many as you can, they are a good source of protein.

I took a thermacell with me to Lake Charles once when they were bad and I literally would sick my face in the vapor of it and it never phased them. They ate me alive. Imitation vanilla is the ticket.

Went to lake Charles last year. Same thing. Without reapplying the vanilla extract every hour they would drive you off the lake.

I haven't either until last year. They seemed to like my elbows and backs of my arms. Welped up and itched like chiggers for days afterwards.

Do not spray OFF repellent near your electronics. It will cause white specks on the housing. May be preventable if you notice it and immediately wipe down.

Most bug repellants will dissolve plastics !
