Products to deter mosquitoes
I’m currently planning a two-week cycle tour through southern Norway, more precisely through Telemark and Agder, at the end of May, beginning of June. All in all, I feel well prepared, also thanks to Matthew and Cycle Norway. However, as we intend to camp a lot, two worries remain: mosquitoes and midges. Will there be a few or a lot of them? What are effective ways of detering them? Which (local) products actually help? I look forward to reading your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks.

Usually, midges and mosquitoes shouldn’t be much of a problem end of May or early June. But spring came early to Norway this year: https://www-nrk-no.translate.goog/vestland/arstida-som-forsvann_-1.17392408?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp
In areas with many midges and mosquitos, I use just a regular bug spray and a mosquito net for my head.See also https://cyclenorway.com/en/faq/

No matter what else you have, wear a headnet.

Hi Mike, any link that you can share to purchase a headset online? Thanks!

Surely you can find them on Amazon.
I would expect to find them in any camping supplies store that sells anything between clothing and first aid. I’ve also invested a couple of bucks in tick removal tools.
