New England Blackflies & Mosquitos are not your normal backyard pests, these are bloodsucking machines that can home in on you in swarms hundreds at a time. If you are not from around here, these bugs can be a real surprise. At certain times of the year, blackflies can be so thick they'll blacken the sun and crawl into your eyes, ears, nose and mouth ...not to mention any other area of exposed skin. They are pretty small, but when they bite, they take a chunk of you with them. If that's not bad enough, then come the the mosquitos! Big, loud, ornery & hungry, they are at their worst at dusk and can make a grown man cry.
