You can run but you can't hide! Buffalo gnats are out there waiting for you this summer. Don't even think of sitting out on your front porch for a summer's night. They will attack you and chase you around the yard before you can get the can of aerosol which doesn't work, anyway! All the citronella candles in the world will not protect you from these tiny swarming insects which go for the jugular.
Huge article in Southeast Missourian today, front page, about why they are rampant--wet climate--this year. The Missouri Conservation agent, Kyle Booth, announced what we already know: "The more water we have, the more spawning they're going to do and the more offspring." They recommend that we put out something sweet, like vanilla extract and mixing it with water and spraying on yourself. Sort of sweeting yourself up!
Hey, this could work for us as people and churches also to keep the gnats away! We could hold a special Wednesday night service instead of prayer meeting and spray all the pewsitters and then send them out to minister in droves. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it! But one small warning, first you have to get it passed through business meeting and it is a new, untried idea!
