Probably Thermocell won't help you against the Tiger either?  Must be that Three Rivers meeting together that is causing a breeding ground out there?  Wonder if they growl instead of buzzing?

Good to know about this so you can be prepared...Thermocell,  Snap on Off device, and 100% DEET products for sure....
