This is the truth! During autumn they start to disappear. Then you can

No wonder Scandinavians gravitated to Minnesota; just like home! Why the
Somalis went there beats me. An advantage of a semi-arid climate is the
mosquitoes flourish for a couple of weeks, and some years not at all. I
think I saw three this summer and only one tick. Every spring I spray my
hiking clothes down with Permethrin, It doesn't repel ticks but scrambles
their nervous system. I've seen ticks make it half way up my leg before
running out of steam. For actual repellent it's DEET all the way. The hell
with eco-friendly patchouli flavored organic tea tree oil or whatever.
