Black flies are a feature [not a bug?] of the North Country. While they are not a problem on campus, I expect them to make an appearance at the BBQ picnic by the river on Wednesday night.
We will be providing a variety of insect repellents, but if you have a preferred bug dope, you may want to bring it along. We will also provide citronella candles for an authentic North Country ambiance.
Other preventive measures you can try:
- Wear long sleeved, light colored shirts
- Wear a broad rimmed hat
- Spray deet on your clothing
- Wear a headnet
- Hope for a breezy day!
Thanks to Andrea Malik, Director, Town of Colton Black Fly Control Program for her advice on how to plan for black flies at your picnic!
