I would say that since it's been raining a LOT lately, yes you should be prepared for lots of skeeters..

During our trip in September my wife and daughter suffered mosquito bites every day. Strangely, and much to their chagrin, I never seemed to get bit.

I guess they’re just a lot sweeter than you, Mitch! 😊😊
In absolute honesty, we really haven’t had any moskie issues since our second or third day - that would be the same day I found and bought the off wipes. Haven’t had to use one yet. Lots if rain, yes, but lots of string breezes, too.
Respectfully,
pat

Pat, where did you find the wipes on island? I've always bought and brought! Luckily, I didn't get one single bite this trip...despite the rains. But I also don't leave the room without a wipe down! And at BSV, we put towel at the front door to keep the buggers out!

Pat, you're probably right but whatever is I'll take it. It would exasperate my wife that I wouldn't use any bug repellent.
I suspect that the swampy, stagnant pond right next door to The Belair was part of the problem.

dolfer--I always get eaten up by mosquitoes and Eric, nary a bite. Very exasperating, for sure! A strong wind does keep the little buggers at bay.
