re: What is the most annoying insect during the summer?

not allowed to call them Chiggers these days. They are now referred to as
Chigroes.

Termites that cause thousands of dollars in damage.

Until you’ve experienced black fly or mosquito season in Canada or Alaska I don’t think you should be eligible to vote.

I’ve seen people who used deep woods off come back from canoe and hiking trips looking nearly unrecognizable due to the welts.

Never, ever for any reason go on a trip up there to the wilderness during those seasons.

The last two weeks these things are tearing me up while at the park walking. Seem to enjoy biting me behind my ears, back of my neck and under my chin. Leaves welps for a couple of days.

Maybe buffalo gnats? They've been tearing me up this year. They try to fly up your nose and inside your ears, around your eyes. Typically get bitten on top of ears, or back of neck, or just under hat band. They leave an itchy whelp for days after.

Deer flies
gnats
Mosquitoes.

Lived in Bull Shoals/Mountain Home area for 2 years.Never got bit by a mosquito,horse or deer flies,biting gnats.No fire ants,never saw a roach.Had a garden,never had to spray for stinkbugs,tomato worms or any other kind of pests.No love bugs all over front of car.
Never got redbugs(chiggers).

Ticks were another story,made mistake of walking in the woods late summer,early fall couple times and would ,get covered with seed ticks by the hundreds.I would strip in the garage,put my clothes in plastic bag with Sevin dust.Then take a bath after adding cup of bleach to the water.

Loved living there,reason I left was because pay was terrible,would have never been able to retire
Til the day I die,I’ll be kicking my arse for not retiring there.
