Have to keep some vanilla in the truck at all times!
Vanilla? Gnats don’t like vanilla? I don’t like using bug sprays – putting those harsh chemicals on my skin and clothes, so I’m always on the lookout for a more natural solution. When I’m going to be in the woods a lot, I try to avoid using any fragranced products. No hair goop, perfumes, smelly lotions. Seems to work. Except for the occasional tick. Yuck.
Absolutely. You have to re-apply every couple hours especially if you are sweating, but it beats having bug spray or other smelly crap on you. I’ve actually had my hands covered in it while fishing and never noticed any fewer bites, I’ll be so bold to even say it might work as a fish attractant. Something you cant say about SSS, absorbine, and other remedies. Plus I actually like the smell
Imitation vanilla works also, but not as well as the real thing.
