I'm trying to rake the yard for a few extra dollars, however its proving to be quite an annoying task. I live in southern Minnesota, known for the bullstuff summers of bugs and humidity, but the bugs are so loving bad this year that its ridiculous. I've lived here almost four years now and none of the previous summers have been this bad for insects. I'm not usually an easy person to annoy, however these motherloving gnats are annoying the stuff out of me. I took my dog for a walk before and they were so constantly thick that it was like an all-out blizzard with gnats instead of snow. They're constantly in your face, in your eyelashes, occasionally up your nose and in your mouth. I couldn't see half the damn time from squinting. They also bite which explains why I have tons of bites.
I've heard vanilla extract helps. That's bullstuff. We have bug spray that also doesn't work for stuff. I've heard drier sheets don't help either.
What to loving do. This is horrendous.
