And this works greAt if your walking around- it actually smell like citrus so you won’t stink up the joint.

It is sweat resistant and orange “flavored” lol

A long time ago, I was asked to take a look at insect repellents and whether the company might have an interest in the area.

After talking to some experts and reading, my answer was nope. I think the boss wanted some "chemical free" way to repelling bugs.

No DEET.

It is a somewhat interesting arena, the regulatory aspects are a bit difficult.

Down here in Florida they can be bad like badge said. In your yard or even when I am on my boat fishing in the back channels.

They even have the no-see-um dance. When someone is using one foot to scratch their other lower leg.

We live high enough that bugs rarely get here if we're on the deck. And bugs don't seem to be that bad if we're walking.

We looked at one condo on the 28th floor of another building. The deck was too narrow for my tastes and the height was scary, for us. The view was nice, but you can wake up one morning and find that blocked by construction across the street, and you paid extra for a view that now is of another building.

I see two more buildings were reviewed last night, which means they are getting close to starting construction. I had thought things would get delayed more. I know the reconstruction of Phipp's Plaza has ceased.

Everything else appears to be going full bore ahead. I'm very curious what happens to the office market in a year or two.

I can tell you the mortgage market is robust. My team’s pipeline of applications is as voluminous as is has benn in years. Granted- about 70% of it is refinance. And, Florida has large populations moving in from the Northeast states to escape super high tax rates.

I found a spray called No-no-see-um. It's made with natural oils and water. It's the only thing that has worked for me.

https://nonoseeum.com/

We had our cage redone with a combination of Florida glass on the low parts (those little shits fly low) and on the sides (privacy). The rest of the cage is the no-see-um screen.

These things cost me a lot of money (and pain). Had to see a doctor early on in the visit, as one got infected. Steroids, antibiotic and hydroxyzine. Oh boy.

Our realtor here became a good friend and we've been chatting by email. He says business here is booming, residential. He says the closings are interesting, buyers and sellers are in separate rooms. I checked the local condo market around me and there isn't much available, so inventory is very tight. There will be a lot in 2 years or so when some of these construction projects open, and I imagine they are preselling of course.

My bank is innovating. We can now do your closing via web/ video from comfort of your couch Notary comes on and walks you through it in FaceTime type environment

Thanks badge- going to try that because if it works without DEET I am all in.

If it was? It actually is. 50% white, 25% black and 25% Hispanic. We discussed this.

I would likely join a protest if I weren't practicing social distancing still. I'd probably hold an "all lives matter" sign.

might get your arse kicked

True. I can honestly see why some get so angry at that retort. I am not taking a side on it- but I totally get it.

FearlessF · « **Reply #3217 on:** June 10, 2020, 10:56:36 AM »

we have here what some folks call no-see-ums

I don't call them that because I can see um

and my eyes are bad

my daughter was at a protest here in NW Iowa, she had a BLM sign, she was confronted by some aggressive black women. She wasn't scared, but she got a little nervous.
