mosquitoes, depends on where you go as to how bad they are. up by mt adams and mt st helens is where I've encountered lots of them. but some of the closer trails I haven't seen any.

usually in late spring to about august is when there will be the heaviest concentration. I use deepwoods off and thats what works the best for me.
