Even the ole trusty Skin So Soft ( it's a skin mosterizer sold by Avon. Used to be our go to for bug repeleant ,so much so I really thought that what it was for untill I was close to 14 lol ) has been failing. Was trying to do some fishing yesterday but got ran out by every skeeter,deer fly horse fly and gnat in the county ! And that's after basically bathing OFF deep woods. So now I'm looking into getting one of those high speed Thermacelll things. But just looking on amazon the review are either really good or pretty crappy. So figured I come ask y'all because you guys don't be. So Thermacells ,do they work or not ? Thanks ! God Bless !

Started the thermocell sat down and they cleared away. Apparently they keep turkeys away too. LOL Last edited by Don; 05/26/19 08:29 PM. Reason: additional info "Common sense, is uncommon, anymore"
