Dauphin Island Staff recommended NoSeeUms & Biting Fly Defense

[Tartan Jack]

At Massacre Island, 2023, we got massacred by & massacred (in turn) bugs that only bit below the knee.

If this is an issue at events, this is what the Dauphin Island maintenance folks use. He HIGHLY recommended it. I asked him how he could work here in shorts with the things thar bite below the knee. He went into the maintenance room & pulled this bottle out. “This is what we use & it’s works great. Spray it onto dry skin & let it soak in.”

(Edit- whole label shown, as info on it may be interesting to folks- ingredients , company info, etc. He also gave me the bottle as I was thanking him for hosting & helping everyone during the event, while walking to QAR2 to leave. I’m going to try it at events to see how well it works it’s what they use there. I haven’t tried it yet)

 

I suggest we get a CASE before the next event where such bugs should be an issue.

Schtoopid flies....bit me right through me socks...grrr.... I tried the spray and it worked amazingly well for at least awhile. Repeat applications worked most of the day.
