If you’re coming up north this weekend, you’ll have to be careful with outside activities. The BLACKFLIES are just starting. While the odd one bites, the remainder are swarming. Particularly bad are areas away from the lake or on the lee side of buildings – where there’s no wind. While the best way to beat them is to stay indoors, if you must go out - completely covering yourself, wearing a head net, and using a good insect repellent does work. Rubber boots and thick socks to protect your ankles are a must.
And a good trick of many of the old timers is to wear long underwear….and believe me….it works!
