Do you put out smoke pots or incense? Maybe one of those UV bug
zappers, (although powering high voltage could be problematic.)


There is a commonly held belief that DEET is damaging to optical coatings,
so I tried Picaridin (the active ingredient in Cutter Advance, for example)
and found it to be less noxious and very effective.
