    No See-Ums
    I live in Florida and we have these little flying pests called no see-ums. Their name says it all/ They are almost invisible and they bite, leaving a red bump that itches! I have a pool that is screened in. These pests are so small that they fit through the screen. Does anybody have a chemical/concoction that I could mix and spray the screen with. I have been using a chemical that the exterminators use called Demon. I mix it in a pump sprayer with a little dishwashing liquid (so it sticks better to the screen). It seems to work OK. Any other suggestions?

    Many bugs hate citrus, mint and cedar and some other things

    Demon is pretty wicked stuff. It's avail to non-licensed in FL?

    Just about any residual should do, esp since you're mixing it w/ soap to coat better. Read labels carefully and choose one specifically rated for outdoors.

    Demon's a quick knock-down p'cide. It's the only one I used on the job that I made sure to have gloves when mixing and a mask when spraying. I guess it was suggested because it's quick. Does the label say how long it lasts?
