@smitty55 & @T-Bone are you actually following their page? If not you may only be able to see the posts that were made public. They may have posted it for members only but @wayne could probably answer that question better than me.

So I just tried that, liked and following. Turned off both adblockers and made sure no scripts were blocked. Still nada. I even did a video search and still nothing. Strange.

Cheers

Ha ha ha ha ha...minutes are about all you have left before those buggers unfurl their new wings and start flying...searching...looking for your blood and the blood of thousands, maybe millions of other mammals in the area.

If you remain very silent you can probably hear the unmistakable sound of the swarm...buh'gillions of biting bugs comin' to get 'cha....  :)

I can hear them in the distance coming my way T-Bone. They love me. I'm fresh city meat..... I'll enjoy their absence while I can.

Area spray for repelling skitters for up to 2 months. http://myhousepests.com/mosquitoes/homemade-mosquito-yard-spray.html
One bottle of mint mouthwash
3 cups epsom salts
3 bottles of stale beer.
Mix all together until salt is dissolved. Spray around property and allow to dry.

I never though about spraying it in a boat, but it might work. At least around the property it will give you some relief while putting around outside the camp.

TB, Seeing this picture and your warning of the black fly/Skeeter onslaught is ruining my fantasy’s of being in Kipawa right now.

Rig up the boat Hodgey...I'd go up there now in a Cleveland second! I just like to whine about the bugs. Maybe Brian has an open cabin next week. 😳
