Rare BetsyS. Posted May 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2023 It's good to pack black flies repellent when going on a cruise to Canada. It's available on Amazon.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Shelaghs Posted May 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Black fly season usually May& June. Don’t know many Canadians who use fly repellant. What do you use in Maine? They could be pesky in cottage country but mosquitos worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted May 19, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I don't use it in Maine, but I use it in Canada. Years ago on the Veendam, the Captain made an announcement about black flies the night before we got to Red Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homala Posted May 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Yikes! Is there a black fly problem in Montreal, Quebec City, PEI or Nova Scotia? Leaving on cruise from Boston next Saturday. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homala Posted May 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Ok, I did my own research and it appears black flies are more of a problem further north and in wooded areas, rather than in Montreal, Quebec City, etc. Phew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlsSalt Posted May 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We used full, easy to carry net head covering at one Greenland stop on Voyage of the Vikings, While keeping the rest of use pretty much covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
