    Yes indeed. That's what I did. I changed the sheets, hovered everywhere and decided they were outside.
    Does levitation act as an insect repellent then? I never quite got the knack.

    I'm one of the fortunate ones who either doesn't get bitten in the first place or doesn't react to the bites.

    It does work, if I don’t use it I will have gnat bite by the morning.

    That's the only thing that works for me. Works a treat but smell isn't great better than insect repellent.

    Yes, i wouldn’t go out with it on, but the smell soon wears off, after half an hour reading in bed I can’t even smell it.
