Fricking bugs [View all]

They LOVE me. I know to water at either dawn or dusk (because it is hot as hell, here), but of course, that's when bugs are most active. I'm getting bitten like I'm an all you can eat buffet laid out for a professional football team.

What do you use for bug repellent when you need to water your garden?
