Got bit by little bugs in the tree

[Blitz]

Ok. So my clothes are treated with permethrin and I use thermocell.

However, these little pin head size bugs tore me up on saturday. Are these oak mites or something else. And, what is my best course of action to prevent this other than covering every possible skin access they have (mask, gloves, long sleeves, etc.)

Thanks in advance.

unfortunately no. all I can tell you is they are smaller than knatt size.

Where were you hanging out the night before?

Noseeums will do that. Go right thru face netting. They love a bald head more than anything.

This was my guess too.

no-see-ums more than likely...go look at pictures of them from a microscope, theyre nasty little buggers.

Buffalo gnats ? Because they will tear your butt up. If so, Avon Skin So Soft mixed 50/50 with water will keep them at bay.

I think that's what got me.

How well does Thermacell work against keeping these away?

I think that is the same thing that always seems to try and get in my eyes. Only time I see them is when they are right in front of my face

TRY ULTRATHON BY 3M at Amazon or Sportsman Guide a little goes a long way.

will this stuff create issues with scent like other forms of DEET?
