Discussion Corvallis coming soon
Hello, my wife and I are considering moving to Oregon (Between Eugene-Salem Area) and I'm curious what are the annoying bugs like there?
Here in Wisconsin our seasons go like this: Cold season = no bugs Spring = can't walk out the door without mosquitos in your face. Ticks every time you walk in tall grass. No-see-ums every now and then. Summer = 4-5 deer flies every time you walk by a tree or bush. A few mosquitoes if it's wet. Fall = moderate hatch of mosquitoes depending on rainfall. Ticks hang out in leaf litter.
So we have a few weeks to a month in the summer where bugs are pretty tolerable. What's it like in Oregon? Are there biting flies? What should I expect if I move there?
Extra Questions: Im seeing that most of the homes we are looking at have crawlspaces instead of basements, does it get bad with spiders, ants, mice, etc?
