Our first trip this year was spent in MI on Memorial Day weekend. Nice weather, nice place, but my ankles are killing me. Just too many bites. Never thought to spray my socks.
I was wondering if packing one's socks with a few moth balls in a plastic bag would help prevent the ankle bites? Anybody try this? Any suggestions as to what might work?

The only solution I've found so far (in such dire situations) is to spray my ankles. Mom, on the other hand, has found that mass consumption of red wine also does the trick.

Mosquito's were bad on our camping trip in Barry County Michigan also. We have had a wet spring which didn't help. Last spring was dry and so the bugs were not there also.
