Dragonfly Repellent

I seen these things on one of those FB Reels. A short commercial for a clip-on dragonfly that allegedly keeps bugs away. :unsure: The fishing videos didn't impress me, because I've never ran into an insect problem, while fishing on my kayak. Bugs don't get more than 15 or 20 feet off-shore or they're fish bait. :sneaky:

After looking up a few videos elsewhere (I have trust issues with FB videos), I found several bow hunters that were using them with good success. A 3-pack of these things are about $10 or $12, so I order a 3-pack. The theory behind the dragonflies is that they are predator bugs and other bugs are afraid of them and leave the area. Lately the deer flies and skeeters have been a royal pain, when I'm practicing in the backyard. The deer flies are annoyingly persistent and make it difficult to concentrate during any bow practice. :mad: So, I thought this would be a good testing ground.

I'm impressed!!! I never had 1 deer fly touch me, no skeeters or any other kind of flying bugs. (y) I was only using the red one. The other photo is just showing the other colors available. The slightest breeze makes the wings look like they're flying.
