My Muskol memory would be a 21 day rafting/hiking trip we took in the Yukon. The blackflies at times were horrendous. Without Muskol our whole Northern Experience would have been ruined.

This is a picture of my boyfriend coming out of Lake Huron at The Pinery Provincial Park last summer. Shortly after this picture was taken, after the sun had set, the mosquitoes started coming out. First one, then another. Not a big deal, we thought; let's just relax and enjoy twilight. Suddenly, it...

Gardening is one of my greatest passions. I love being outdoors and nurturing plants and flowers to grow. To see flowers bloom and vegetables growing is the most satisfying feeling I get from gardening. But, there are also negative drawbacks for being outdoors ? the nasty bugs! For some reason, the...

I love to fish in ponds, lakes and rivers, but the bugs are very bad, and you really need protection from their bites and stings. I once went fishing at Deer Creek Conservation Area on a canoe where there were swarms of bugs near the water?s edge where the fish were. Thank goodness for Muskol! I cast...

Some old friends, myself and my husband have this special place. No matter where any of us are and what happens in our lives every one of us knows where it is and how at home and comfortable it feels. Our special place is way out of the way, it is not used by very many people for camping because it...

This was taken at my favourite place to relax - my cottage! It's not often that the loons swim to our side of the lake, but when they do, I try to take pictures of them. I caught this one of the loon as he was flapping his wings.

I was so surprised to find these beautiful gardens with free admission on the campus at the University of Victoria. It is lush and green and very impressive. Some of the vegetation is very unique to this part of Canada and the flowers blooming are amazing. Because it is wet and humid, along with that...

I recently went on a white water rafting trip with a buddy and spent 4 days/3 nights at their camping grounds. We had an AMAZING time and it would not have been possible without the small bottle of Muskol we picked up at Walmart. Due to it being in the wilderness and on the water the bugs were a plenty....

These memories are strong when i think back about the days of when my grandparents salmon fished for a living in the summer. My brother and I would go with them to their summer home on the river, and I can still smell the "fly dope" our grandparents would cover us in! Seriously we looked like be bathed...

As you can tell by the photos, there is always some activity going...
