My question is what are the things you guys do down there to combat the bugs. Not talking about homes, but on your person. Are there any kind of bug sprays, repellents, lotions, etc. that you would recommend? Any other remedies? Are some areas worse than others with bugs? Thanks for any suggestions.
Come on down, don’t bring any bug spray with you, and if you happen to run into any mosquitoes, deal with them then. I sat on a lawn under some trees at sunset a couple months ago and started feeling something was jumping onto my legs, but those are the only bugs I’ve seen in my time here. The Villages seems to be a blessed bug-free isle.
