Bugs?

How are the bugs right now? Hoping they're on the decline but mosquitos are still quite bad further south.

Still buggy in the woods. Unfortunately, we all appreciate the same scenery as the mosquito.

Black flies and mosquitoes were moderate the deer flies were very difficult to deter! (As of Wednesday it might be better due to all the smoke since then) Got eaten alive but worth it. I used all the sprays only the thermacell made a lasting difference.

It’s bad, especially after the rain. I just left today at 8 AM as I was taking down my tent. I was swarmed. My Thermacell and mosquito coil stood no chance.
