Certainly is one big perk to living in Alaska! Basically no bugs of any kind to be concerned about. I heard ticks may be on their way here but I haven't seen one yet.
But Alaskans do love to whine about mosquitos... which I guess is really a matter of perspective. Having spent most of my life within 40 miles of the TX/LA border, I find the AK mosquito "problem" a little bit hilarious and over stated. Have to reach a couple hundred miles past Fairbanks before they really get impressive by bayou standards...
