Faggot here, my grandpa always told me burning green shit like leaves or pine needles keeps bugs and ticks away... Any truth to it?
... smoke keeps bugs away, yes.
It also makes it hard to breathe.

I see..
A smokey fire will keep flying pests away because they don't like to breath smoke.
It won't do shit to keep ticks and crawling pests away.
You know what REALLY keeps ticks and other ground based parasites away? Burning down the forest. Give it a try

Yes smoke keeps mosquitos, bees, and other flying bugs away. Ticks are best repelled by permethrin, deet, and daily checks.

insects breath directly through their skin. make an environment that is smokey, and insects can no longer breath through their skin so they fuck off.
you burn green stuff because it makes the most smoke. just dont burn anything whose smoke is toxic to you.

If you burn anything with fragrance it will keep bugs away. Bugs hate fragrance.
