I just got a note from the lady who owns the home we stay (at) OSH ea year, 

giving us a heads up on the mosquito situation. Apparently with all of 

the rain this year the bugs are BAD day and night,  and she reported 

that there have been some local shortages in repellent reported. So a 

word to the wise is to come prepared with you own supply , and lots of it!!

Hmm, I think someone is a bit over reactive.  They are no worse than normal and the really bad spells are within a week or so of really heavy rains.  I've noticed a significant drop with the drier weather in the last week and keep in mind I'm only 30 miles away, in a wooded area, on a river.    Oh ya, no shortages on bug spray that I've seen or heard of but it never hurts to be prepared.  Make sure you get the real stuff with around 20% DEET and you'll never have a problem.

Well, I've been to Canada where the mosquitoes are as big

as some of the hawks that we have down here in Wisconsin, but

this year so far by us (we're not quite as rained-on as OSH)

I'd have to say is one of the lightest years for skeeters

than I remember.  Have only had one bug-spray day this season.

No shortage in stores....just saw it on sale again this weekend.

I don't know that at OSH I've ever had to use it....so it

would truly be unique if it were that bad this year.   I'd say

bring some if you got some, but I surely wouldn't worry about

not being able to get your hands on any.

20%?

In Alaska nothing short of 100% DEET was considered effective.  Of

course it dissolved most nylon and plastic items.

I have been told that Wisconsin Beer, Cheese and Brats cause a similar

Deet chemical reaction for locals.  Wally World down south of OSH is the

closest large supplier of the Deet products.

I believe the smoke from the airshow planes is the same as they use in the 

bug foggers.  We'll just have to get Sean Tucker to make a few low passes 

over the camp grounds.

Just getting caught up on this thread!  



That is pretty cool that there will be tons of DeHavilland Mosquitos at Oshkosh this year. 

That's a great RAF bomber.
