In the 1980s I traveled from Texas to Yugoslavia with a church group. er seen so many mosquitoes. There were no fans and no screens in any of the windows in the church where we were staying. The only people safe from the hordes were the little old ladies. My friend pointed out that the babushkas eat so much garlic the blood suckers won't go near them.

Four words to you:

1&2: Vicks Vaporub -

for your ears (not eyes though 😔) and

3&4: Sticky Traps -

the yellow ones at the local garden center to hang wherever around the house. Just be certain the traps are located where your hair won't go exploring. OR make a Yellow Sticky Trap hat?

Gnat season in NE SUCKED! Gnats haven't bothered me here, however I don't have lovely fleece friends either.

I'll start the search for those wonderful old-fashioned fly swatters for you. The last ones I found were in Oxford, MA about 10 years ago....

Love this post!!!!

I’m laughing at the excellent descriptive language, but I’m crying on the inside because my pasture is now a swamp and I’m covered in bites. We have some sort of tiny biting gnat that likes ears too - mine are completely raw.

I say this has nothing on a male alpaca and a goat.

Sorry to hear about your ears! Hope you dry out quick!
