I have been to the North Side on (2) prior occasions...December and May. I found no problems with bugs at those times. I am going in July ( not by choice) but as my friends have school age children, and that's the only time they are out of school....whaddya gonna do?? ANYWAY...my question is this.. I have read other posts complaining about mosquitos. Is there a certain time of year that mosquitos are more prevalent, or am I just one of those lucky people that the mosquitos don't like??? I have never had a problem..but then again..never went in the summer either...
It's all about rain. If it's been raining a lot, there will be a lot of mosquitos in areas that don't dry up quickly and if it's very dry, the little blighters can't survive.
I have been to the North Coast three times (April, August and December) and all trips have been fairly light in terms of precipitation and I ALWAYS get attacked by the mozzies.
It would make sense that they would be particularly bad now that there's been so much rain (from what I hear its stopped though?!). I don't think there'd be a certain time of year thats really bad since the temperature usually stays about the same. Unlike us poor northerners that get harassed by them during our 2 months of summer!
I think its my blood type or something because they do seem to only "bug" certain people. My friend's usually only get a few bites whereas I get them all over my legs. I have seen a few other tourists that they're really attracted to too.
As for the sankie repelent the best I've found was telling them that I'm a poor student! lol
Ok so I'm hijacking. Since I don't look like a student, I'll use my usual. Pretend I have no idea what they are saying no matter what language they speak.
