MF'ing bugs

Recommended Posts

How do you guys combat the bugs while glassing? Not so much mosquitos but those little green or yellow ones crawling in your eyes ears and nose. Will deet keep them off or do you jimmy rig a net to wear while glassing. Never tried a thermocell. Ideas ? The bugs where I've been scouting the past few weeks are relentless.

Iv been using ear plugs lately and I was surprised how much it helped by just not being able to hear them buzzing by my ear.

headnet is cheaper than thermacell

 

I always carry a few - weigh nothing easy to use - some even come attached to hats etc. no mess no fuss

 

small bottle of unscent spray --- just in case for chiggers / ankle bitters

Looked at the Thermacell website and they specifically mention mosquitoes. So does this thing repel all bugs? That would be sweet.

I used the early Thermocell version while fishing in SE Texas. Worked great on bugs but the gators didn't seem affected.

 

Wonder if the scent would spook predators while hunting if they got a whiff.
