Has anyone tried bug pants to deal with those awful biting flies in the Great Lakes and other places? I wonder how well they work.
So, white bug pants?have not. however during Mac races we all wore white. white painters pants, white cotton dress shirts. the flys prefer color.
No ....................... coloured bug pants so they attack each other !So, white bug pants?
In sizes 0.00001 and smaller .Yes they make them and hats too.
^^ This.Try Catnip Oil. We've only used it a couple of times, however, it seems to work. May have to be reapplied every few hours.
Nope. These are strange deranged insects that inhabit the Great Lakes. In the middle of the lakes some 25 or more miles off shore these agressive critters live and thrive. When it is hot and still the seek the shelter of the cockpit of unsuspecting sailboats looking for vulnerable ankles and calves. I think they are on the payroll for fly swatter manufacturers and those who make remote controlled autopilots.Clarification......... the biting flies y'all are referring to: Would that include the annoying Noseums, No-see-ums, aka sand fleas, or sand flies? My only experience with them is in Florida.... never had the problem in Bay area or SoCal.
Our only protection was no see um netting on the boat, and stay inside with a fan on, Non of the repellent we had worked. My friends live on the beach but on the 5th floor... too high for the biters, but the right height for the occasional lost palmetto bug

yup they hatch on the water, immediately go into a feeding frenzy, lay eggs and die. very short life cycle and they are ravenous the entire time.I looked it up - and black flies hatch from the water. That's why you run into swarms of hungry critters miles from shore. Biology
Nope, not black flies. We are familiar with these critters, especially in the Adirondack Mtns. They hatch in running water, like brooks, springs, and creeks.I looked it up - and black flies hatch from the water. That's why you run into swarms of hungry critters miles from shore. Biology
