Camping environment

[Kinarfi]

I agree with Lenny and hope I haven't overstated the no see um problem, the jamboree was definitely a good time, in spite of the little pests, but I want to get set up for my other outings so I can further enjoy them. Wheres the next one gonna be. I'm looking at foggers, to kill off the pest, but may get the good bugs, mosquito traps, should get most blood sucker, and other things. I think at our jamboree campsite, a fogger would have worked real well, as there were no other insects that would have been effected, but in a mountain camp site, a fogger would kill off the dragonflys and the mosquito catching spiders and such. I'm thinking mosquito trap may be best, but it doesn't get the regular house flies that are a pain when in the mountains.

Think I'll start a new thread and copy this to there - Camping environment -

Other than deet and repellents, has any one tried any thing else?

Best thing to do is camp when the bugs are not out, like SPRING. Spring just after the last freeze and before the warm rains is a no bug time.

Hi Kinarfi how are you doing? I hope enjoying your trooper. I have something that works real good for them pesty bugs, believe it or not try 2 oz of listerine mouth wash in a spray bottle then fill the bottle up with water and just spray it all around your camp, problem solved !!! and if it doesnt work with the bugs that are there just make it stronger. It does work and works well. It works for me, let me know how it works for you ok?

And after spraying it around your campground open your mouth and give it one quick squirt.That does the opposite of keeping the bugs away,other people will come near you.(LOL)

Bath!! Whats that??

Bath!! Whats that??

That's 30 MPH through a creek or stream or puddle of clear water, I'm sure there's a video in the forum to show you how it's done. Also practiced on hot days.
