bugs

I am planning to make my first trip to the Bahamas in the fall. I'm considering a place on Long Island that's in an out of the way mangrovey area. My question is this: If I go in September are the mosquitoes likely to be bad? What about noseeums?

I don't imagine Long Island has a spraying program that keeps the mosquitoes under control like in the Keys?

They can be really bad, especially in the early mornings and around sun-down. the mozzys can get really bad a week after allot of rain. Very little spraying efforts are done, and only in the settlements.

Skin so soft works for the no see ems. They will still land on you but the skin so soft is a basic solution and neutralizes the acid that they excrete. Mosquito repellent doesn't work for no see ems. Long sleeves, long pants, a hat, etc. is also a good trick... :grin
