Rae Lakes wasn't bad at all last weekend. There were a few about but a little Deet kept them away. Didn't need netting. However, down at Junction Meadow, looked like they were getting pretty bad.

They noticed that I had not one of them pests on me while they were in total misery and wore at least 30 of em on their bodies and were ceaselessly swatting away.
They immediately asked what I was using to repel the pesky poking vermits. I instantly told them nothing less than 100% DEET. They responded that they could never apply that chemical on their bodies. I then replied with no hesitation... "Then I suggest that ya'll shut up and take the pain!"
Unbelievable!
