Joe: Actually you are correct! If you don't feel like buying one of the CO2
repellers, which do work wonderfully, eat garlic. When I was in the Army they
did an experiment with us ( no, our goverment would never do that!) using
vitamin B12, which garlic contains. They had us take B12 in mega-doses, and,
after just a few days the little flying vermin hated us. When you sweat your
body secretes an odor that they hate, but that humans can't smell. Garlic
contains large amounts of B vitamins, but taken in large doses will repell
everything. The nice thing about B vitamins is that they are water soluble and
are not retained in the body like A and D so they cause no damage; excess is
just sent out through the waste. So Shane, get yourself a big bottle of B
vitamins and send those buggers after your unsuspecting neighbor who you may
not like anyway. Thanks - Ed

No wait, that's for Vampires. Maybe it will work on other blood suckers as
well.

Amici,
For those who live near swampy areas (like DC), what do y'all
do about mosquitoes in the garage? The blood-suckers
are attracted to me like flies to, you know, and they eat me alive.
I don't use Deet or apply any chemicals to my skin (except engine
and tranny oil, but hey, its a LBC). No A/C so I usually keep the
door open and use a large fan to circulate the marginally cooler
evening air
I've thought of getting a grant for building a preciion guided
mega-watt laser or aerial nano-bug swatters, but short of
fantasy, I do have bat houses and encourage field swallows.
