We get Dettol here-it is the same stuff as pinesol. So if I use pinesol it will keep the knats away?

Try Absorbine Plus. I have NEVER found anything that works better at keeping gnats away. Can you expound on that? If there is something that truly handles gnats and better yet no seeums I'd sure like to hear more. Thanks Osky

Absorbine works but you have to constantly keep reapplying it. Dettol works 10x better. It's not at all the same as pinesol. I dip my finger in it and wipe it on my hat bill and the strap on the back. No gnats and lasts all day! You can mix it 3 parts baby oil to 1 part dettol and make a spray too. For my chickens, I soak a rag in it and hang the rag up in the coop. Keeps the gnats out. I might try the baby oil mix and spray the chickens, calves and pigs and see how it works on them too. I've used dettol at work now fir the past 3 years. It flat out works and is cheap! Interesting ! You might also try cutting it with Skin so Soft . That is my bug deterrent.

Something I've noticed about gnats and mosquitoes is that if gnats love you, mosquitoes don't as much. On the other hand, if gnats don't bother you that much, mosquitoes love you.
If there are gnats in the vicinity and my wife is around, you will see a cloud around her. But, they don't bother me. Mosquitoes flock to me, but not her.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
