Heightened Mosquito Activity

Don’t worry it won’t dampen your experience! Here are a few tips:

  1. Dress smart: Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks to minimize exposed skin
  2. Apply insect repellant: Use products with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus
  3. Plan timing: Consider avoiding dawn/dusk when insect activity is higher
