This summer the kids, hubs and I loaded up and trekked the 1,200 plus miles from Ohio to Maine. I consider myself a “Master Packer” and I assumed as usual, I was completely prepared for our 10 day trip. I had packed all four kids bags, my husband’s, mine, our cooler and snack bag. I was ready. Or so I thought.
I was not prepared for the massive bird-size mosquitoes (seriously – if you ask a Mainer, they will tell you that’s their state bird). Or the black fly ‘epidemic.’ Black lies are tiny about 1/4 size of a house fly, and they like to bite! My youngest daughter suffered the worst wrath of Mommy not being prepared.
(My poor girl’s black fly bites Mommy failed to prepare us for!!)
When we got home I did my research, and looked for a family friendly company who helped my kids (and myself) ‘fend off the funsucker’s during our summer. I found some great products by Cutter®. They have non-greasy formulas designed to comfortably protect against mosquitoes that may carry West Nile virus. As well as repels chiggers, ticks, biting flies, no-see-ms, gnats and fleas!
I knew I needed to stock up for our trip to the beach, so we made sure we had plenty on hand!
We stocked up on a few different Cutter® products to take with us. My son and I absolutely love the Cutter® Skinsations which have aloe & Vitamin E and has a great fresh smell. My daughter (the one who was traumatized with the black fly bites) chose the Cutter® Dry since she wanted to make sure no little buggers were going to attack her! I love the Cutter® wipes which are really convenient to keep in my purse (or my tackle box!)

Yuko, I never heard of Black lies and by the looks of it, I hope I never see them! I really like the Cutter Skinsations as well, the smell is better than others I have used in the past!
Oh my gosh! We really need to stock up too because they are so bad this year!
Cutters is a must have at our house. The mosquitoes are terrible this year and yes the black flies are vicious - gosh they hurt when they bite. Living in the country Cutters is great at keeping us bug free!
Ouch they must be sore and itchy.Good that you have found a product that can help.
Hope I never run in to those. They look so itchy.
My poor nine year old must be delicious. No matter how much repellent I use on him, he still end up with a million bites.
I hate mosquitos. We use Cutter as one of our brands to fend them off.
Yow those bug bites look awful! We are bug spray users since Red's reaction is worse than normal folks.
My family and I went through so much of this when we camped over the 4th of July weekend. It really works!
Oh my, those black fly bites are scary! Glad you're protected now
