Have you tried using a therma-cell for all the bugs?
I know it works great in early archery season for keeping the skeeters off of you

A product called "Finga-Flicka" also works. Locate the offending bug. Place fingernail of one index finger or the other adjacent to offending bug. Then, with one steady motion, strike offending bug with said fingernail. If the product works correctly, and you follow these easy to use instructions, offending bug will be launched and hurled into the great void beyond. Problem solved and you don't need to run down to Young's Store (unless it's for a six-pack, or some Twinkies). ;D

bugs in Vermont aren't bad......until 6:00, then they come out from everywhere. We deal with horse flies and mosquitos. BIG horse flies, and when I mow, their little ones attack me as well.
Any 'ol time remedies for getting rid of poison ivy?? I've gotten it 3 times this year ( all on my hands luckily), and I think it's from my cats and dogs getting into it, and them me petting them. Any suggestions would be helpful. And NO, I don't go in the woods at this time of year.

Fels Naptha works for poison ivy. It's a heavy duty laundry soap in bar form. Wet the bar take a cotton pad and lather it up, then rub over the affected areas. Leave the soap on and let it dry. It will dry up the blisters pretty quickly. I'm like you Tim all I have to do is see poison ivy and I seem to get it. I'm just not smart enough to stay out of the woods. I remember this one time at band camp........ ;D

I've ripped it out with the tractor before and it seems to have come back thicker..

The only way that I know to effectively get rid of poison ivy is to burn it. It generally takes a good hot fire to sterilize the ground. The ivy will not regrow. Fortunately, I've never seen poison ivy here in Pittsburg. Not complaining either.

Fortunately, I've never seen poison ivy here in Pittsburg. Not complaining either. Just be careful burning it. Make sure to stay upwind and out of the smoke. My uncle spent 3 days in the hospital after inhaling some smoke while burning. It was touch and go for him for awhile
