What are no see ums attracted to?

No see ums or biting minges or punkies like all biting insects are attracted to the carbon dioxide flume that you send up when you exhale!

Today, science has proven that mosquitoes, black flies, no see um, chiggers, minges, deer flies, and ticks are all attracted to one thing......the carbon dioxide flume that all humans and animals exhale when they breathe!  (Research the Reseach)  And, science has also proven that certain formulas of fragrances will interfere with an insect's ability to detect carbon dioxide. 

"If they cannot find you, they cannot bite you!" says Ole Time Woodsman Fly Dope.

As an ole time Mainer, Ole Time Woodsman Fly Dope has always been a staple in my tackle box.  However, now that I am a snow bird I was not prepared for the vicious noseeums in Florida!  I sent for a bottle of fly dope, sprayed it on my fishing hat, and NOSEEUMS NO MORE!
