The Devs should add "Bug Spray" as a usable tool in a future update.

So I know it sounds like a broken or ineffective item given the situation the characters are in, but I genuinely think it can be a good addition.

The concept is that it's an item that can be used on the Player that will make it so most Bugs wont aggro on you. It's made to be a semi early game craftable to help players who struggle exploring without being spotted by dangerous enemies. 

Obviously there should be limits to this such as, it'll fend off ants that would attack on the overworld, but it'll have no effect if you enter there den or if you already have been aggro'd on already.

Other enemies that it should have to effect at deterring them are Bosses, Wolf Spiders, The Koi Fish or any water bug, the Mutant fungal insects, and maybe any insect that lives in the haze (at least until you patch the gas canister) . But everything else is fair game to scare them away.

Once sprayed on, it's effects should last for about 3-5 mins and there should maybe be a mutation that can make it last longer.
Additionally, it's crafting recipe should probably be 1 Stinkbug Sack, 1 Bombardier Beetle Acid gland, and 1 mildy rare ingredient I can't think of at the moment.

It should be an craftable that's between easy to get, but it takes a little time before you can make it. (plus has about 3-6 uses) 
So it's not something the Player can rely on constantly apposed to actually armor & mutation upgrades.

I think it could be a fun useful addition to the overall game.

I think this sounds like what they have in the game already, the Shinobi Sneeze. That is hard to get and got the same use I think; I probably don’t understand what you are saying though. I never really even touched them though, I usually just go after whatever aggro on me, or just ignore them, if that makes sense.
