It's summer in SE Michigan, and that means tons of tiny fucking bugs flying all over me and my computer monitor.
As it's one of the light sources in the house, literally hundreds of gnats and other bugs fly to the screen and bounce all over it.
Is there any way to repel all bugs from my work area? It's pretty fucking aggravating to have tons of tiny flies flipping around your workspace.
I hate michigan.

It's also entertaining.  Sounds as bad as the spiders I get year-round. Those big brown hairy hunting spiders *shivers* |

I suggest hundreds of frogs in your work space. You can always wear ear plugs to drown out the croaking.

Insect sex????? P2 I was going to say the same thing, only some sort of odd insect-o-philia on top of his screen. A 9 for physical positioning I guess, but a 1 for gross.. MM _____________________

Gnats suck! I dunno what to suggest as far as keeping them away goes... but if you think you have problems, try having an insect INSIDE your monitor! (watch the video!)

Well, your name is "Lordfly," after all. Just a little buggy worship, I suspect. My favorite quote from a UP-er: "If you live in the UP and you can't light a Webber with a match in a gale, you might as well be wearing a dress." _____________________

When they start "screwing in lightbulbs" then you're in trouble.

I hope you're supplying them with birth control If you agree to an abstinence only program you might be able to get federal funding. _____________________

I'm starting to get Earwigs in my house now. Lil' Bastards!!! Every summer we get hordes of 'em running around.
Also I find if you use UV Lights on your PC case, it tends to attract bugs as well. Course then they just fry inside |

Such delightful fauna you have in America - it really makes me wonder why we bothered colonising the place, what with all the bugs, tornados, earthquakes, volcanos, hurricanes...
