I realize you are all an important part of the food chain, food for birds, fish etc, but just for one day I wish DEATH TO YOU ALL!

Can you buy DEET by the gallon?

hand-pump garden sprayer, misting nozzle, and a gallon of deet... that oughta keep them off you for a while. Just don't spray it on your car... :-X

I've actually been sent a sample of an 'anti-bug' patch for review. I'll let you know how it works out.

I have packed super high concentration DEET just in case, however :)

While attending a June Wedding on an Island in Algonquin Park a few years ago I noticed absolutly NO BUGS

Surprised I asked staff why and they advised they spray wit Paddock spray [used in horse paddocks]

I have not been able to locate and I am sure not suitable for one day use. However nice to stumble back to my cabin in the early hours after celebrating the wedding without one bug bite.

At least we have cities to run to for cover. How did the first nations' people live with the man-eating bugs? They were out in the bush all the time.

Anyway, something has come up and I won't be there. Enjoy.
