As you can imagine the bugs have been very bad this year with all the rain we received in the Spring. While the hot weather seems to abated the mosquitoes somewhat the black flies and deer flies have been hanging on. Black flies have been bad in the evenings especially and the deer flies during the day.
While bug spray has been very helpful, in the evenings, while sitting around soothing our sore muscles, and reviewing the progress of the day, we have found that strategically placed citronella candle pots have been very helpful. I highly recommend them!
