The Mossi scale
0 - being the days when there is a good blanket of snow and no bugs in sight … and maybe April when the little blighters haven't been hatched yet
1 - There are days, here in the woods when there are only a few skeeters… like in a driving rain. A one on the scale denotes when the mosquito level is tolerable. A few swats and brushes and you can still sit and drink a beer outside.
2 - Nice day, sun is shining, warm, light breeze, probably if you stayed in the sunshine, you'd be okay
3 - A beautiful summer day and you have to keep moving or black flies, skeeters, deer flies or horse flies will make you uncomfortable. Probably a jumpy night by the fire. Many new little friends in the bedroom, making sleep difficult ....neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A good day for repellent, a must for evening.
4 - Dancing Days... Doing the Muskoka Wave. The days where you are constantly waving your arms, jumping up and down, swattin yerself. Heavy layer of repellent, enough to damage your future kids, bug hats or the whole dam bug suit, or just forget it and hole yerself up inside and look out, just like winter.
5 - Days when black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies AND horse flies are all out together. It happens ,,, get outside, get your shit done! Get back inside! Keep your mouth closed, long sleeves, socks, lots of bug spray.
