It’s an annoyance for sure but I hate using off or other deterrents. Plus I guess I am contributing to the eco system somewhat by giving them nourishment.

    There’s got to be an upper limit where it’s unbearable without bug spray. Head to Northern Canada, go for a tromp in the bush, and find out what yours is!

        Mosquitoes are hell in the north too. But the winter kills the sub species of mosquitoes that carry the diseases, except for maybe west nile but that’s not a huge deal. Oh yeah, and eastern equine encephalitis but that is super rare.

        Nah the cold does kill them off, it’s just that the summer months are still hot and boggy. Best if both worlds.

          that is one of the perks of living ‘up north’… no bugs outside in the winter.
