    No.
    That's what I would do to keep bugs away.
    I think flies are attracted to poop.
    If anyone ever tells you that they have a bug problem, tell them to wash their ass. LoL!

  • Bugs aren't a major problem here, but I do sometimes spray myself with mosquito repellent when I go for a hike.

    The West of Scotland is notorious for midges which are having a good year. To avoid being eaten alive, I'll invest in some Jungle Formula before we visit later this year.

    I believe they also made a pest of themselves at the World cup in Volgograd.

  • On a trip through Canada, I asked one of the locals the same thing,  She said, "If you take B-Complex vitamins it will stop them, but it's too late for you this trip.  It takes about six months, of taking them, to build up in your system.  Try it for your next trip."

    "Wearing white works surprising well against mosquitoes."  Not sure why.

    "The smoke from a campfire gives you a safe zone."
