DEET by far is the best all around repellent for applying to your body. Outside of that, I swear by my thermacells. I have one attached to my hip at all times out in the bush. Foraging, fishing, hiking, anything that I’m doing that is going to have me near bugs. I’ve heard of the cardboard trick, but haven’t tried it yet. We have a ton of egg cartons, but we need em to sell our eggs in!! Great video guys. We have a homemade ‘afterbite’ concoction that I should send you a sample of. It’s made out of the birch oil we make. Cheers!
Thermacells are great and work too. You should definitely give the recycled cardboard trick a go. I understand you don’t want to give up any of those egg cartons with all those chicks there. Email me (in the description of every video) we would love to try the homemade after bite concoction, very cool! Thanks so much for watching Brother! Doug
Yeah, I would love to see the concoction of birch after bite on a video. Great idea.
Deet for me is trash! I think it almost attracts them to me more than without it. I can’t find any spray that has truly worked for me
Your video backdrops are second to none! I appreciate the insect repellent info, if it's good enough for your area it has to be good enough for me. Well done fellas
It was a beautiful location Brother! Hope these ideas help. Thanks for watching! Doug
I'd prefer to use a flame thrower against those little vampire beasts, but "jungle juice" (100% DEET) is what I have - it works pretty well. If I know I'm going to be out among 'em in a day or so, I sometimes put my outdoor clothes into a big black trash bag, squirt in a healthy dose of jungle juice, close the bag up and let it sit overnight. Next day, when I need them, the clothes have all absorbed enough DEET to keep the bugs at bay. I like the smoking egg carton idea too! Cheers.
Oh I have some of that 100% Deet too that I picked up in your fine country. Flame thrower would be fun 😂. That’s a great idea on your part. Whatever it takes to battle these little bastards 😂. The egg carton idea is definitely worth trying! Thanks so much for watching Brother! Doug
The husband will love this - the black flies were driving him insane at our last campground. Thanks for the post!
Awesome!! I don’t blame him and these things can help. Thanks for watching! Doug
Awesome video for summertime. The mosquitoes and flies can drive you nuts. Great tip about the egg carton. Never knew that before. Cool video Doug.and Jamie 👍
Give the egg carton a try Jason. It’s lightweight and won’t add to your carry. Thanks so much for watching Brother! Doug
Finally information I can use on UA-cam, well done boys
Appreciate that David! Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Great informative video Doug and Jamie. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸
Thanks so much Tracy! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Thank you very much Doug for all the great suggestions. Over the spring, doing my outdoor aerial videos, I encountered black flies, mosquitoes, ticks and most recently got a nasty looking bite on my arm from the little brother of a horse fly which I call a deer fly. Thanks again for sharing. Hope you have a great weekend.
No one is safe Dave 😂. We have both horse flies and deer flies here with the horse flies packing a worse bite. We continue to battle all insects. Thanks so much for watching! Doug
DEET is the SHEET!
And so is the Tim trays.
Awesome vid bros!
🤘🌿🔥🌲🍻
Have to use whatcha got to get the job done, as you well know Brother! Doug
Last year I got ate up bad doing some night fishing that first time. Next time I bought some deep woods off for Russ and I to use and they didn't bother us. I couldn't believe what a difference it made. Good bug repellent is a much out there at night! 💪👍💯
Early mornings and evenings are terrible for mosquitos here too Bill! A good Repellent is the only way to go sometimes! Thanks for watching brother! Doug
Great idea with the drink cartons Doug, I am going to give it a try for sure. Great info to share, thanks
Definitely give it a go John, you’d be surprised how well it works. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Nice review and brief explanation guys, mosquitoes and bugs are just one of those things that come with camping, but certainly there are ways to keep them away from us.All the best.
You’re right about that brother! Something we all deal with if we want to enjoy the outdoors. Appreciate you watching my friend! Doug
Ahaa I don't do camping much at all but I sure have some mosquitos at my house. Burning the cartons was new to me. Thanks 👍😃👋
They are definitely in all our backyards Paivi. Hope this can help keep them away when you’re out there in your garden. Thanks for watching my friend! Doug
Thanks Doug :D
The coffee tray was a new one for me. Great stuff as always.
Give it a try Brother! Perfect for Morning Wood. Thanks for watching my friend! Doug
Great information guys.
Thanks so much!! Sharing a little of what we have learned having to deal with these annoying pests. Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Great tips guys! I'll have to look at these products!
Worth a try I promise you. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Great video as always. Great information
Thanks so much my friend! Appreciate it!! Doug
Funny enough, going on a camping trip tomorrow night and the farmer, whose farm it is, says, first light and last light, really bad for midges and I am always worried about bug spray. You make a good point about the number of applications against the issues arising due to application, so feeling a lot better now. Very interesting watch, cheers Alan
Perfect timing Alan!! Don’t be afraid of deet or any bug spray providing you apply it safely. Have a great trip brother! Be safe! 🤘🏻. Doug
Don't have those problems in CO, but appreciate the insight.
Thanks so much brother! Appreciate you watching my friend! Doug
The best 'deet' is total absence from the wild outdoors during summer season, lol! Deet is a sticky dirty thing that's sweated out too. More open waters and windy campsites prevents using all those products, but sometimes it's a necessity when those sites aren't accessable. Liked the egg carton idea though...
So true Magnus! So while we are out there we don’t apply anything until the bugs get too bad. The egg carton idea works great! Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Loved the videos! Tracy Phillips sent me over!
Awesome Dennis! Welcome aboard brother! Thanks for being here. Appreciate it brother! Doug
Nice job, useful info thanks!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking time to watch. Doug
Fantastic information thanks for the video!
Thanks so much! Hope it helps! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Great information, very nice to know! Nice place for a video :) We have a lot of mosquitos in Sweden also :)
Thanks so much!! Swedish woodlands are very much like Northern Ontario Canada where we live. Not surprised that you have many mosquitos like us. Hope this helps. Appreciate you watching friend. Doug
Good info. Thanks guys.
Thanks Don! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Aw man.... I thought you two were going to do another tasting. Those repellents probably rival some of the MRE’s you’ve tried! 😉
Good stuff, as always, guys.
😂 they are probably better than some MRE’s Harvy! Thanks so much brother! Appreciate you watching! Doug
great info thanks guys
No problem brother! Thanks for watching! Doug
Nice, I’ll look that one up! You boys should look at sprays that have picaridin in it rather than the deet. Works great too!
Definitely another option and worth a try too! When it comes to insects we will try anything and only stick with the ones that work obviously. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
I've used both the DEER and picardin too. I like both options. However, when I spray the DEET on, I get a burning sensation at times. Makes me want to use the Picaridin more.
We are pretty lucky not to have black flies ... but we do have bad spots for mosquitoes,
these damn little biting flies, and in some places Noseeums. A light smolder fire usually
does the trick, but some times we gotta break out the citronillia candles and spray.
Thanks for sharing your remedies, and Happy Flippin CANADA DAY to you guys!!! Cheers!!!
You’re very welcome Brandon! It appears you have some the same sort of issues we do here. Thanks for sharing some more ideas with us! Erobin Outdoors mentioned in these comments about where I get my shirts made. I referred him to you Brother. Happy Canada Day! You are definitely an honorary Canadian!! Doug
Good tips. Thanks
Thanks so much brother! Hope they help some people out! Appreciate you watching! Doug
Excellent info y'all, really like the idea of burning the coffee holder, that's a new one to me!! We have a lot of skeeters here in the Sip, I'm gonna try that one!! Y'all be safe and thank ya for the share!!! Dan
Thanks so much Dan! Ya you’ll like the coffee tray option, it works great on those skeeters! Let me know how it works for ya! Thanks for watching Brother!! Doug
Nice review Doug... I hate Black Flies.... I would like to try out that new clothing line from Wind River... it' looks to be good.
Thanks Spongie! That would be interesting to try the Wind River clothing. If you do, make sure to give us a review. Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Thank you for tips on this, especially about the egg cartons. Who would have thought? Enjoy the day! Catherine
It’s amazing the tricks people come up with. They work though and that’s the great thing. Thanks for watching Catherine!! Doug
Good advice guys. Besides mosquitoes and Black Flies here in NH we’re having to deal with Ticks... Hate em !
But treating your clothes with Permethrin really does the trick. Spray it on , let it dry , good for a couple of weeks. Cheers
We are fairly lucky here so far with regards to ticks. We have them but not nearly at the same level as places south of us. Great advice on the tick prevention. Thanks brother!! Doug
Great tips guys! Since the mosquito should be the state bird here in Florida (LOL) these tips will come in handy here too!
😂 that’s hilarious Rob! Hope you find them helpful brother! Doug
Great products..👍
Cheers Tony.👍🤓🍺⛏
Thanks Tony!! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Good tips and video, always need repellent in Ontario.
💖😉 +1 LIKE
Don’t we know it my friend 😂. Thanks so much for watching! Doug
I’ve never done the fogger thing, not sure I would to be honest. One method I do use is I keep a small pile of fresh green spruce bows handy and every so often throw one in the fire and create a good cloud. They hate that! The Timmies tray works better than one might think👍
Good one guys!
Fresh green spruce bows would work great. We use them winter camping when the campfire is struggling due to many factors synonymous with winter. Thanks for your input brother! Appreciate you watching! Doug
A dried cow turd smoldering on your fire works really good too, not the most pleasant thing, but definitely works. Good stuff brother!
Another great idea! Any idea that works is awesome in my opinion. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Awesome! I didn’t know the drink tray one. We usually make a green fire. Green leaves or wood that Smokey really badly when burned. We do this while setting up tents and the camp. SkinSoSoft bath oil from Avon works too. Rub it on. Mosquitos hate it. Great video!
Those are some great ideas Renee and thanks for sharing. SkinSoSoft was something used here a lot in the 80’s but I almost think the mosquitos got immune to it 😂. Appreciate you watching my friend! Doug
Good advice! The bugs are the worst part of camping! Otherwise we love the great outdoors!
Yes I agree with you on that!! Thanks so much for watching friend! Doug
Good info guys. I used to use Deet in Africa and do something similar with an ordinary fly spray around where ever I was staying.
My area of the UK is relatively biting insect free, except for Horseflies they've just started, bit later than normal but they're here now.
Nice to see Jamie got a haircut, did you have to pin him down to do it Doug?
Horseflies take a big chunk out of us here too Si! Hate those as well. Jamie’s haircut was a result of his wife kicking him in the ass to get one 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Good video, some really good info there nothing worse than being feasted on by bugs when outdoors 👍👍
You have that right Gaz! The bugs can completely ruin an outing as you know. Thanks for watching brother! Doug
Great tips you guys, nobody wants to get eaten alive by bugs! :D
You got that right Tom! Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Good video Doug very useful . You can also cover your self with mud if you had nothing else thanks for sharing atb
That’s another great idea if all else fails. Thanks for mentioning that! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Deet will eat your watch band ( plastic) and your sunglasses. Also your nice UV protective clothing, like shirts and Buffs. Use caution when applying. Permethrin works great on most clothing. That cup carton trick just blew my mind!
All very true and great points. Thanks so much for sharing! Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
I've travelled all over the world and have never experienced anything worse than Northern Ontario Black fly, Horse fly and mosquitoes. No doubt about it, DEET is the best repellent. Toxic s**t though, I once melted my watch band right into my skin using it. Kept the bugs away though, lol! Great video guys!
They are definitely the worst here from what I hear Craig, you would know. There other options other than deet and ultimately anything that works is a great idea to me. Sorry about your watch 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! Appreciate it very much! Doug
Great video! New subscriber here. I did a video like this and its cool to see someone else do something similar. Thanks for sharing!
Hey welcome aboard! I will definitely check it out and give you my support. Thanks for watching brother! Doug
Good stuff. The mosquito was recently named the SC state bird, replacing the Carolina Wren.
That’s hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great advice Doug and Jamie...
i normally use a product called
ArrowGard, it works great here in Australia but i have seen that
Bug fog at Costco... I've never tried it, but I'm going to next time I'm out fishing,
good thing about that is you don't have to spray your hands which my put the fish of the cents... Thanks for sharing Guys ATB Jim.
It’s worth a try Jim. All ideas are worth a try in this constant battle with these insects. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
I'm going to have to give that fogger a try! Gott hammered this weekend in the interior of Superior.... but they are slowing down quite a bit now, so that is nice.
The black flies are nearly gone here and the mosquitos are only appearing early morning, wet days and evenings now instead of all day long 😂. Worth a try! Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine yeah, the lake shores are clear here...the dense bush is still loaded with mosquitos..but mainly during dusk and dawn... so we are finally getting our woods back HA! Happy Canada day!
Happy Canada Day Brother!!
Thanks for the info. The mosquitoes on the Texas Gulf Coast are just terrible.
These would be great options then Francis. They are terrible here as well. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Great share. I swear the mosquitoes always bite between the toes and fingers.
They are so nasty and you’re right they do bite in the worse possible places. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching my friend! Doug
I am a expert on getting bit . I have to try this one from Peterborough because I have tried them all and not one has worked for me with black flies or horse flies. Mosquitoes stay away with most repellents I have tried. Gota get the deets on the deets eh 😂😂
I’m really happy with the Lloyd’s Steve. It works better than anything I’ve tried and the black flies were brutal here as you know. That’s the deets on the deets from Northern Ontario Buddy. Appreciate you watching! Doug
Thanks for explaining about the deet percentage. Ha ha, I thought you were gonna use the carton to swat at the bugs. Lighting it is probably a better plan.
You’re welcome Lola and I will use whatever possible to fight these little bastards 😂. But yes lighting the tray works a lot better 😂. Appreciate you watching my friend! Doug
#5 bring someone else they prefer to eat :-)
We use bug suits rather than chemicals. gets hot but works. I like the paper tray concept
I like your idea #5 Brother 😂. Long hours in the bush with bug suits is brutal but I don’t begrudge any ideas to combat these bugs!! Definitely the paper tray idea cause it works great. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine Thanks Doug. I'll give the Tim's tray a try
Thanks for sharing guys.. Not sure why you want to kill the mosquitos, they have to live too lol.. Full View Like 65..
😂 we are mean people up here in the great white north Allen. Thanks so much for watching Brother! Doug
Awesome camping tips there guys i noticed and do this alot in summer when detecting the mozzys don't like cigarette smoke ...keeps them away ....although its probbly better to get bitten then smoke lol 😂👍😀
Smoking is bad for you Derek 😂. These options are slightly healthier! Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Pinetree Line Outdoors haha a lot more healthy your options are Doug mate 😂👍
I've never come across the fogger before guys. Thanks for sharing. Of course black fly but also the pesky midges. I reckon these products would do well over here. Mark
I’m thinking they would do well over there too Mark! Insects know no boundaries 😂. Appreciate you watching brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine Thanks dudes for the appreciation. I know you do!
100% deet also will eat any plastic it can find. Usually something you really like or need. Never heard of the paper tray thing. And don't forget the deer flies. Thank you for the tips, Doug and Jamie
Is that always the way Sean? 😂. Thanks so much for watching Brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine I know a guy who lost his tackle box to a bottle of deet kept inside. Every lure and worm melted. So you can imagine how expensive that one was.
How's she goin' boys? Great video!!! Dealing with blacks flies and biting insects is probably the number one thing that keeps people out of the woods. Here in semi remote central Nova Scotia the black flies are vicious and then the mosquitoes arrive to carry on the attack followed closely by the horse flies. These products are great at keeping them at bay. I also like to use a cream called Great Outdoors Insect Repellent, made my Watkins I think. It contains 28.9% deet and I find it works great. They have a spray as well, but it only has 7.5% deet. Good for kids but I would rather the cream. Take care and thanks a lot for posting!!!
That’s awesome Mike! Appreciate you sharing the information on Great Outdoors Insect Repellent. It’s great to share and gather ideas as we all have a common fight against these less than friendly critters 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Great information friends. After all of the rain here in the states, mosquitos are heavy this year. Not as bad as your way however. Peace friends, John.
They are bad in many places this year John. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
Peace, Amigos!!
Good informative vid guys, nice work. How did ya find it about the Tim hortons option?
With the gallons and gallons of Tim Horton’s that we Canadians consume daily (no joke) someone decided to slow burn a tray to create smoke to keep the mosquitos at bay and it didn’t take long for it to be a thing here in Northern Ontario. We’ve been doing it for years and it works really well. Thanks for watching Matt! Appreciate it Brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine LOVE Tim hortons man. When i lived in cambridge Ontario i was in that joint every day man, double double!😁
Matt North 😂 Awesome Dude! Double Double for me too! The addiction is real!
@@PinetreeLine 🤣🤣yeah man, almost caught a plane to go get some when you mentioned it, i sound like homer Simpson when he says donuts augggrrrrr
That’s hilarious but I totally ‘get it’. It’s thing I miss most when I’m out of the country or in the woods for more than a day 😂
Great review and tips, guys! Will look for Lloyds. Any thoughts on the impact of this stuff on plastics and phones and drones? Always worried about stuff like that eating into plastic.
I rarely spray my hands with any repellent, in case I eat, don’t like the greasy feeling etc, so I couldn’t really say what effects it would have but I wouldn’t want to find out the hard way Don 😂. No worries with the fogger or the smoke from the tray though. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
I hate using anything with deet because I'm a person who loves his gear. Any repellent with deet can delaminate fish rods, ruin sunglasses, destroy clothes and other gear. If you can't deal with the flies then my recommendation is wear a bug jacket and gloves. You might feel uncomfortable wearing this in the heat but not as uncomfortable as when you notice your expensive fishing rod has been damaged!
Love that intro...DEET is good, but the older stuff that causes cancer worked better😀
Thanks Matt! What doesn’t cause cancer these days 😜. Appreciate you watching Brother! Doug
Chemical weapons for insects is common knowledge, but cardboard trays, who knew? I'll definitely be trying it out.
Yup a Northern Ontario insect attack method 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
The mosquitoes here in NW Ontario are on steroids. 🤣
I’ve spent some time in Woodland Caribou PP so I definitely agree 😂. Appreciate you watching! Doug
I love anything that keeps blood suckers away! I didn't know that about DEET over 30% being as effective but perhaps not as long. That was interesting for sure! I was kinda wondering the other day about that when I was choosing between Off Backwoods and some of the other options. Have you ever tried Sawyers insect repellent with Picardin. Seems to work fairly well for me too.
No I haven’t tried that brand but I have tried picardin and it works well too. We seem to have better luck around here with deet based products but I’m sure there are other factors that make it seem that way. Other options are great to know about though Chip and I really appreciate your input Brother! Doug
I wanna see you guys arm wrestle! The winner gets to take me on for the championship!
My question Mike is how you got a bye into the championship? 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
I was hoping you wouldn’t catch on! 😂
It's been years since I used to arm wrestle in competition but ok I'm game boys 💪
FOGGER?! How did we miss that one?! We tried just about everything in Alaska...so big you could RIDE the mosquitos!! Ruined our outside time, had to eat in the RV...not so bad on the trail, tho! Went in June, cuz they claimed that they weren’t so bad😬😉🙋♀️Lisa
It’s unfortunate that insects can ruin a good time. These ways work for us and yes the fogger does make a difference in the area you are in. If they were that bad in June I can’t imagine the rest of the summer 😂. Thanks for watching Lisa!! Doug
Great advice guys! This time of year in the uk its horse fly season and those things are horrible too! I will try and find these products on Amazon and get some trays to burn! I'm always looking for ways to see those nasty biters off! Take care, enjoy your camping trip and massacre some of those flies for us all! 🤣👊👊
Definitely give the trays a try at the very least. It’s amazing how much they help. Thanks so much brother!! Appreciate you watching! Doug
Black flies can only move about 2mph, mosquitoes maybe 3.5 mph. If you can move faster than they can, you are free!
Joe you’re not wrong but they are both like packs of wild dogs and relentless in their pursuit of your flesh 😂. Appreciate you watching! Doug
You’re so good
Thanks so much! 😊. Doug
You ever try a thermacell?? They work great also!
No I haven’t but thanks for adding that information here Brother! Doug
is there something in the egg carton cardboard or will any old cardboard really work for this?
There’s something in recycled cardboard as opposed to regular cardboard. So always use recycled cardboard and it will work!! Doug
Oh, where'd you get your T-shirt made?
We sell them on our website. They are made locally and shipped out worldwide. Thanks for watching Brother! Doug
@@PinetreeLine I want to get some made by for my channel. I was wondering who did them for you?
For shirts - Check out my Buddy Brandon’s channel 👉🏻 Triumph Screen Printing. He’s on Instagram too. He would definitely be doing my shirts if I was in the U.S.
I've always wondered what's a mosquitoes purpose in this world......I try not using sprays but use Thermo-cells when I'm in the woods...... Especially during bow season, the deer don't seem to mind the earth scent thermo-cell pad smell......
SK I’m still wondering what mosquitoes purpose to the world is 😂. We will give those thermo-cells a try here too Brother! Always looking for ways to battle these bastards 😂. Doug
@@PinetreeLine They work fairly well.....
have you ever tried a product that contains permethrin and / or do you even know if that type is available in Canada, I am so sick and tired of putting bug suits on in 30C weather just to water the garden, plant so flowers etc. Unfortunately I live by a lake in central Ontario and insects of all kinds are a issue but hornets and mosquitos are by far the worst.
Permethrin treated clothing is legal in Canada as long as it’s approved by Health Canada. I’ve never tried it myself so I don’t know how well it would work. I don’t think there is any real way to win the battle with these pesky insects. I feel your pain. Appreciate you watching! Doug
@@PinetreeLine
thank you appreciate your reply and thoughts, stay safe.
What is safe for pet dogs ?
How can protect dog?
Check with your veterinarian but there are mosquito repellents made for dogs. There are also all natural options like lemon eucalyptus oil, clove oil and more but like I said, always check with your veterinarian first. Doug
Deet dosnt work on black flys or bighting gnats.
How is getting extra time, from a higher percent of DEET. Not a benifit
Assuring our Canadian friends that 30% Deet is no different than 100% Deet in terms of effectiveness other than time. In Canada the legal maximum allowable amount of Deet in any product is 30% unlike our friends in the United States. That’s why that was said. Thank you for watching! Doug
I’m tired of supporting the local mosquito population Now they need to move on 👍👍👍
😂 you’re absolutely right Brother! Enough is enough 😂. Thanks for watching! Doug
Insect repellent does not work on the ankle biting flies.
That’s a matter of opinion Paul but certainly nothing works perfectly. Appreciate you watching! Doug
Great information guys.
Thanks so much Marilyn! Appreciate you watching my friend! Doug
