How do you deal with gnats
This year the gnats are about to drive me nuts. I use a therma cell, which will keep the mosquitos away, and some of the large flys, but the little black flys and gnats are not bothered by it. They eat my face up. What do you guys use to deal with gnats?

I've heard a dab of vanilla behind each ear will keep gnats away but I haven't tried it yet. They were bad Saturday and I had to pull my headnet up so my eyes were totally covered by netting. They eventually went away. Don't know of any other cure for them.

The Thermacell doesn't seem to affect the gnats here either, but with my headnet on I just end up blinking alot to keepthe little buggersout of my eyes.
Not sure I like the idea of using vanilla, I take great pains to keep stay scent-free. (even though I know they sell it as an attractant.)

Yeah those gnats are nasty! I use a tighly wolven face mask which helps some. Tuck it into the neck area of my shirt. Someimtes I'll even close up the area around my eyes until I see something....
I've also heard the Thermacells don't work on gnats....
