Subject: Best way to ward off bugs in OBX.
Should we use a topical spray? The "bug-b-gone" candles? A combination of both? Which sprays work best? Which candles work best? Not sure which bugs are in "full force" in OBX... my first time there! Read More...

Subject: Mosquitoes
My friends and I have been going to OBX for the past few summers, and we found last summer to be particularly brutal for mosquitos. We heard that one every few years they are pretty bad, but I also read on this board that wind patterns play a factor. We will be going the week of July 8th. It is probably too early to tell but can anyone who has been there yet this year comment on how they are so far? Read More...
