    A bottle of vanilla extract. Pour a little in your hand and rub on exposed skin.

    Yes a head net works but vanilla extract works better than bug spray. May need to reapply Vanilla Extract often . I have an old camo head net I dipped in the extract . Funny one lake not a sign of a Gnat and next lake is just swarming with them ! Some fiolks swear by dyer sheets while other Skin so Soft

    They are so bad here that yesterday I had spray bottle and head net and I still left the fish biting! Watching it rain and licking my wounds today.

    Vanilla extract & water thinned 50/50 works pretty good in a spray bottle. I'm not sure if a Thermacell would be very effective against Buffalo Gnats or not.

    No sir, thermocell does not work, not even a little. By the way, you don't need real vanilla extract, way too expensive. The intimation works just fine, I keep a bottle in my boat at all times. Those knats tear me up!!!

    They were bad on Conway last Friday. Didn't have anything to combat them with so had to suck it up.

    I had an idea, I have the vanilla extract and was looking at a way of dispensing it without dumping it in my hand and spreading it. Then it came to me that if I put it in an empty Slab Sauce Bottle I could spray it on my exposed areas then rub it in without much waste. This virus needs to get over soon I just might think myself into the poor house with all these bright ideas I keep cumming up with.
