Finland in September

[Jan Ververs]

Hello ,

I am going to Finland in September. Will there be a mosquito problem?
I have bought a mosquito headnet, do I need a net to cover the complete body?
We are going for a week and will travel about 8 km every day.

Depends on where you are going and also on the weather...
Generally speaking, mozzies shoudn`t be a problem...the louse/elk fly is increasingly common in the eastern and southern parts of Finland and may cause moments of discomfort

The louse fly (hirvikärpänen in finnish) lands on humans mainly due to a case of mistaken identity.... You look and smell like a moose...they drop their wings and then head for the hairy parts of your body. Very rarely, if ever do they bite...it`s more a case of the creepy crawly sensation...you`ll probably find a few on your kit and person even after you´ve been at home for a week

I wouldn`t waste money on body nets...
