Piper;
Get yourself a " Thermal Cell " Best thing ever invented for skeeters, and sand gnats, ( no see ums ). Get them at Wally world, or Walgreen's. Get the extra fuel, and tabs too. They are great for hunting, camping etc. The units cost about $ 20.00, and the replacement fuel and tabs, cost about $ 6 - 7.00 . Well worth it. I have one in my truck all the time. Never know when you will need it. I have the extra fuel and tabs also. They also make little votive candle like sets also for the patio, and such.
