Really hit and miss for me. At my Lakes Region rental, they are non existent this year. Gnats are a different story though.
At my property further north where I am building a house, they are bad in sections and non existent in others. There is also a small biting fly there that is not a deer fly and has been giving me fits. I actually still have scars from where two bit me last fall. Coincidentally, the spot that my house is going in has both the black flies and biting flies. Great planning on my part.
I also just pulled another tick out of me. That makes two bights this year and the stress of monitoring for lyme symptoms. The first one was kind of my fault as I had been lazy on starting repellent. The one today must have been hungry, because he dove in despite my deet coating.
I'm a walking tick borne disease test patient. Just pulled the third one out of me today. Picking them up in Coös county and bringing them back south. This is despite bug repellent and changing clothes.
I'm about to break out my uniforms as they are all pemethrin impregnated.
