Well I dropped the ball on this post, not long after posting this a friend told me to use of all things Listerine. Full strength, dollar store brand worked fine for me. You do have to reapply it, but it did work and its better than putting Deet all over ya. And for those annoying gnats for us in the south, don't know if you northerners get them use vanilla an water spray, it can be imitation about half and half, works pretty good. And ya smell good to, lol.
