I can't speak for swamps, but here on the sandbar, it's the skeeter's an black flies now an then. The skeeter's...I bust out the citronella candle. Seems to work so I can enjoy the evening outside. Seems better then my County's way of handling it..with dropping a spray from a plane. Standing water isn't to bad unless it's been very rainy, or a big storm passed through like a hurricane or tropical storm. Sound side they might argue otherwise due to the water there. I'm ocean side so..yea, the candle's work.

Black flies..I just kill'm as I find them, thankfully where I am their not so bad. Nag's head..they like to swarm down that way some years.



An in my one post..I said Country living with easier..I just meant compared to the cities I've lived in. For me the country is a nice change of pace to constant drama, emergency vehicles, crime, rush rush rush, etc. You folks living in the Dakota's or Canada wilds, got it a bit rougher then me, but then..you all seem to enjoy it. Just wanted to clarify I didn't mean it was easy..easy..lol! If that makes sense.

Some day I'll enjoy living in the Dakota's an the like, even if it's just a few weeks or month at a time as I pass by in my RV.

Hrrm..maybe I'll buy some land throw down a concrete pad, wire up the electric an give it a whirl part of the year.Ha ha!
