pappy3393 Posted April 21, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2005 What can I expect to encounter in mid June as far as mosquitoes, black flies, and other friendly bugs? Cruising to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Sitka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK*Angel Posted April 21, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hard to say, but last year the bugs weren't bad at all in Juneau. They are never really bad unless the wind isn't blowing and you're in the woods or on the beach and the no-see-ums can be pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Mid June is mosquito season, but the Southeast bugs are nothing compared to the interior. The no-see-ums get nasty in July and August. I never leave home without some OFF, and I swear I'm going to start bringing a fly swatter. The last two summers we've had huge (biting) horse flies in June.

Sillyjilly Posted April 21, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Holy Cow, I never would have thought of bugs in Alaska. Thanks for the OFF info. Bugs seem to LOVE my hubby. They seem to ignore me, thank goodness. :) We'll be leaving May 15. Do you think bugs won't be as much of an issue then? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 21, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I agree- I've never encountered anything much on the Inside Passage compared to interior Alaska. Going in May shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyjilly Posted April 21, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Great! Thanks! Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
