OIL OF CLOVES

[YEA] Brenda from San Diego, Ca: "For No-see-ums in the ears, be sure to dilute a concentrated solution of oil of cloves, since it will cause your skin to peel. Start out with a very small diluted amount and work up a little at a time until no-see-ums are gone."

[YEA] 08/01/2006: Mike from Evansville, IN: "Rubbing alcohol, applied liberally helped stop biting midges or no-see-ums. They [no-see-ums] get in your nose and bite on the inside of your sinus passage."
Replies01/17/2010: Ivory Coast from Loco, Ca replies: "I AM HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH GNATS NOT TO MENTION FLEAS AND SCABIES. I'VE BEEN USING DE AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DUST ON THE OVEN SO I BEGAN TO CLEAN IT OFF. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND TONS OF DEAD BUGS IN THE VENTS AND INSIDE THE FRONT PANEL ON THE OVEN DOOR. SO I CLEANED TONS OF THEM OUT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF GNATS, AND THESE LITTLE BLACK ROUND THINGS BEING IN THERE. THOSE LITTLE BLACK THINGS ARE EVERY WHERE. THEY COME OUT OF AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET IN THE KITCHEN. I PLUGGED ONE OF THOSE R_ _ _ X P_ _ S THINGS IN THE OUTLET NOW THEY ARE IN THE OTHER OUTLET TOO. THE OVEN INSIDE IS QUITE CLEAN BUT I AM RUNNING THE SELF CLEANING THING FOR 4 HOURS ANYWAY.
THEY DO INDEED LIKE A BOWL OF RED WINE AND AND DAWN DISHWASHING LIQUID MIXED. THEY SEEM TO LIKE A BOWL OF COFFEE WITH APPLE JUICE, APPLE CIDER, MANGO OR BANANA PEEL AND DAWN DISHWASHING LIQUID.
AFTER I FINISH VACCUMING AND CLEANING UP A BIT I WILL SPRAY BOMB WITH SIPHOTROL. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CHEMICAL NAME NOT SURE BUT IT HAS PEMITHERIN AND PRECOR IN IT."
