How does /out/ deal with these motherfuckers?
>>773194
If a few, DEET
If a shitload, the barrier method
>>773194
How do you guys deal with these?
>>773202
this
picaridin for kiddos.
wipes>spray
permethrin is for chumps.
cigar smoke works well, too, but is less than ideal when /out/ and about.
>>773194
Long sleeves, OFF Deep Woods, and lots of Newport smoke.
Most of the time they aren't terrible by my place despite being Florida. As long as there is a breeze coming off the ocean, it isn't bad.
OFF, leafy eucalyptus sticks
hate mosquitoes, and Dengue has been spreading in recent years
>>773235
You just die if you see one anon. Theres nothing you can do
>>773235
Smack the shit out of it. Just make sure you get it the first time. Swat at so many bees and wasps and haven't been stung in years and years.
Plus bee stings aint shit.

In my yard...

And trying to make sure there's no standing water as much as possible.
This is the first year with the citronella smoke and mosquito traps, and it's a freaking miracle. I can finally enjoy my backyard without these little shits fucking with me. I was skeptical the magnet trap would work, but there's a basket full of these little fucks dead and no other insects. The dynatrap seems to get a lot of collateral damage with moths and beetles, which is not great.
Elsewhere...
Bug spray and lots of cursing. Angry gestures.
tons and tons of this, love the smell too
>>773403
also, i feel paraffin lamps repels them a bit, can anyone confirm?
I've been bitten so many times it doesn't really bother me anymore.
>>773403
>>773411
It's funny because you made it into an N-word slur and they don't even tan or /out/
>>773404
Where is this? In Denmark?

What the fuck man, I wanted to see yellow jackets getting roasted... 4/10 would probably not watch again.

Why would you ever, you fucking nigger? Leave the wasps alone and they won't do you any wrong. Around here you can spot city folk because they shit themselves as soon as they see one. We just let them buzz about. How do you deal with being such faggots, jesus
>>773870
If they are just flying past, I'm not going out of my way to swat at them but once they get all up in my personal space, I'm gonna get em.
That black widow in the pic earlier was living on my hand truck for a month or two and I let it be since it just chilled there and didn't crawl all over me.
>>773850
And yet they are dying out. Such a shame

This is true for two thirds of all species in the next 1000 years, even in the best scenarios. TFW we are the worst extinction level event ever.
>>773194
let 'em bite
do not scratch
apply urine to bites
>>773899
I just brush them off and they go away. The key is to be gentle and not scared or violent. Avoid slapping or making any movements that will crush part of the insect. They never come back once I brush them away, even if they were getting really into my shit due to the smell of food or whatnot. I have a theory that it's an instinctive behaviour to move on as a damage avoidance strategy.
If you kill one, then nearby ones will smell it and go nuts.

>mosquitos are not part of the two thirds
god dammit
>>773403
Is this exclusive to scandinavia?
Eat garlic and they won't bite you
Alternatively let them bite you until your skin begins to produce a hormone that will repell them
Also sweat repells bugs

I'm almost sold but, are they pillars of their communities and do they respect the art of repeating digits?
>>776370
kek
>>776375
I am not trolling fool.
>>773870
I don't think so man. I was chillin' on my hammock today when one of these fuckers stung me twice. I want 'em all dead. The only benefit I see from them is killing off caterpillars in my garden.
