Well, time to check the stores - esp. small discount ones and food stores for discounted bug stuff. Ace hardware has a tendency to mark down stuff like that this time of year. Am allergic to certain bug bites. Dollar General puts bug stuff on sale about now thru March to get rid of old stock. Am having trouble finding cans of sterno jell. Can anyone suggest where to look - our walmart does not have.

Re: bug stuff
Sorry. I am one of those guys that bugs just don't seem to like. I can be sitting next to someone that has dozens of bites and I will be bite free.“I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.”

Normally, I stock up on the 30% DEET wipes which I find a surefire way to keep the kiddos from missing a spot, and Permethrin spray for the tents, chairs and such. This year I'm going to make sure I spray some of the Perm stuff on the night clothes we sit around the campfire in.
Thanks for reminding me I need to call Sawyer's and find out if their product works on black fly, the unofficial state bird of NY, LOL.
I wish there were dollar stores near me; the loss is prolly due to the loss of reasonable rents in my area cuz yanno got to have as many fugly "needle" towers in Manhattan as possible.Last edited by NYCgrrl; 01-30-2017, 03:53 AM.2017:

Re: bug stuff
I heard this mentioned last week, and have a link. It's a peer-reviewed study that only found 2 effective topical mosquito controls, DEET and PMD (30 percent oil of lemon eucalyptus):

James is onto something researchers have also measured, in that some people who have a certain stress level seem to emit chemicals that the critters latch onto with proteins in their antenna and heads, thus finding some victims less attractive. I always thought it was because we were "locals", but I stand corrected:

“People have such a love for the truth that when they happen to love something else, they want it to be the truth; and because they do not wish to be proven wrong, they refuse to be shown their mistake. And so, they end up hating the truth for the sake of the object which they have come to love instead of the truth.”
