Mosquitoes too!
They were pretty numerous at the campsite. I had an effective pump spray repellant and as long as I kept it fresh, I was fine. However, when I got home, I noticed I had small patch of about a dozen or so bites on my back where I could not reach so I will bring an aerosol spray next time. Do mosquitoes coils work? It was a nuisance to keep swatting them and I need something small to pack that would help.
whereas Black Flies ("Buffalo Gnats") prefer fresh running water.
My 2 favorite camping spots were A) The Delaware Water Gap and along the Appalachian Trail. A Mix of fresh running water & bogs. B) Peekamoose Mountain Reservation. along a large trout stream running between 2 of 3 reservoirs in the area.
There are hundreds of mosquito repellents on the market... but nothing that deters a determined swarm of black flies!
worked so well, they finally introduced it to the public as an OFFICIALBug Repellent
I haven't had occasion to try the new stuff, sadly I no longer go camping or back packing
The original is nice because it's child friendly even from infant on up. IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE... ...safer for the finish on your bike... ...and you'll Smell Nice Too...
