    I spent the day yesterday helping with an outdoor event for the charity I work for, we were swarmed by midge type bugs. I think I enhaled about 6 pounds of them. They love it down by the river.

    I think I read somewhere that taking Vitamin B-1 repels mosquitoes.

    The tesco brand bug repellent spray worked very well for us when we visited scotland a few years back.

    We still have one spray bottle left. My wife hoards our one bottle of it and wont let me near it because she says that she gets bitten more often. Occasionally we arm wrestle for the bottle, but it's no use....she's been working out at the gym a lot lately.

    Two words: Texas cockroach. If you don't have a cat, they'll rid your house of rats...so, I hear.

    Hmm,

    I prefer the snap of the #5 weight for really whacking bugs.
