Gnats

[the blur]

I just scouted 3 miles.   The gnats are just beyond annoying.   Deep woods deet off doesn't seem to work.   They just hover above my face covered with bug spray.  They usually don't land, but having 100 gnats 1" around my face in intolerable.    They do land on my sun glasses.   

What do you guys use ?

Haven't been in the woods as of late so no personal experience. Might a Thermacell work ?

I always spray down with off and keep a lit cigar in my mouth.

I've never had much luck with the Thermacell and gnat repellency. The high % DEET sprays seem to help a bit. They are very annoying to be sure.

I don't like deet on my face. I use a boonie hat with a bug net over it.

Reusable, no chemicals. Doesn't take long to ignore bug noise & get to work. Besides, there's usually other noise, chainsaw, tractor, tiller etc.

Thermacell works great but not while moving. Shannon's bug tamer suit might fit the bill better

I tried every which brand of bug spray for gnats.   They don't generally land, but they hover about 1" from my eyes, nose, ears.

   Finally brought a bug net !!   Problem solved.
