No problem if you had a mosquito net and some basic repellant.

Much less of a problem than I expected. They respected repellent quite well. My most bitten areas are around my wrist where I did not want to apply DEET next to my GPS. The small f-kers (knots?) were worse but they stayed also away with some repellent.

I live here!

There were barely any mosquitoes or gnats compared to what I'm used to or what I expected. But just for the precaution I used a repellant a few times to my hands since I used only t-shirts most of the time.

Mosqitoes & knott were quite tolerable this year. I was a little surprised when I learned that some repellants work only for mosqitoes and are ignored by those small flies. I avoided using repellants most of the time, but once tried my friend's repellant on Friday when we got into an area full of knott a little below Ravens' base, and it worked fine (its instruction mentioned mosqitoes, small flies and large flies).

Honestly, it's way worse here at home.

The mosquitoes where annoying in the long run, but not in any way shape or form a problem.
