Gnats!

[wet_boots101]

Please tell me, I am not the only one who has swarms of gnats gathering about my truck when I am stopped at a locate!

Two other guys around here told me they have the same problem. Is there some reason for this? Are they like cicadas and are more prevalent in cycles?


And YES, I DO turn the truck off at every stop (hence no A/C leaking through the mirrors). Seriously, what gives? It's like a frickin' biblical plague over here!

Gnats are one of the many reasons I still smoke.....Gnats won't get anywhere a burning cigarette. In fact, I have worked in a couple areas where they were so bad I went to the store and bought a pack of the cheapest cigarettes I could find and just let them burn in the corner of my mouth. No need wasting my good ones.

I know what your talking about. Between the gnats and mosquitos it is difficult to breath without inhaling some sort of little insect.

lmao i was wondering same thing but theyve seem to have calmed down around here

I recently had a ticket near a river which curved around, so I pretty much had still water all around me, when I got out of my truck I was immediatley surrounded by swarms of misquitos, I'm talking hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. I douched myself in backwoods Off! and did my best to keep them off of me, but I ended up still getting about 10 to 15 mosquito bites. In a world of West Nile Viruses, this really bothered me.
I wonder if this is something that needs to be addressed, I mean honestly this situation could get one of us killed, not likely, but possible.

Mosquitos are really bad this time of year where I live. I purchased a Mosquito Magnet last year and it was the best money I've ever spent. If I walk across the street to my neighbors house I get eaten alive but if I'm in my back yard I can sit back with my beer and barely get bothered by the mosquitos.

Mosquitos are our state bird around here we have some big suckers too

TBone you crack me up!

Try removing the dead fish carcass from underneath your driver's seat.

Are you sure it's a dead carcass under the seat?

Just make nice with one of them and he'll tell all his friends and they'll tell their friends and they'll leave you alone after that. I saved a cicada's life last year and he spread the word throughout the cicada community and they all left me alone the rest of cicada season. It works. Try it.

I've noticed that when I've had a supper the night before that contained garlic, biting bugs don't seem as vicious.

[LadyLeatherneck]

Eat mo garlic!!!!!!!!!!!

straightliner- did you DOWSE yourself or DOUCHE yourself?

... big difference!

And YES, frostypeters, I have subsequently removed all pieces of ickybad fish-smelling fecal droppings from the floor & seat of my trusty truck. I even scrubbed it with my good hand... I feel better now. But I still have gnats!!! WTF!
