Because of West Nile viruses pentration to long 110 West, this has
become more of a concern. I assume that East coast observers have more
experience with this because West Nile landed on the East coast first
and has been working west. I use low-concentration DEET and then cut
that 30%-50% with water. That seems to be the minimum concentration
to keep the no-see-ums at bay. At the height of the bug season, I
also use a bug netting jacket from Campour, which I originally
purchased for hiking and camping. http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___82170
The bug jacket keeps the need to spray use the DEET chemical to a
minimum. Finally, to temporarily clear the area around the scope of
the bigger nuisance moths. I have a small battery powered paddle
zapper. http://www.firstestore.com/zap.html Don't use the paddle too
much. - Canopus56
