If you want a little more challenge then you can also KILL as many mosquitoes as possible for more points!
I like fishing and just spending time on the beach. I'm pretty boring so you will have to wait on others to find more things to do :rolleyes:
I'm in Jacksonville, where will you be moving?

Work faster so you can go inside! With gnats and mosquitoes bug spray can help a little but I almost never use it. The best thing to do is to keep moving. If you stand still they will be all over you. Sometimes they are so bad just getting in your vehicle will let tons of them in with you. My tip is to turn the AC up all the way, once it gets cold they quit flying around so you can relax.
Now for the biting flies (yellow flies and horse flies) there's not much you can do but be ready to hit them before they bite. Pay attention to anything landing on you because they are quick and the bite stays for days.
Be careful in the heat if you're from somewhere cooler. I work outside everyday and still have trouble with the heat sometimes.

My son and his wife both work in Disney so we get on to all the parks free and don’t have to queue ... guess that makes a massive difference to ‘the’ experience :)

fortunately the heat doesn’t bother me, ive lived in ohio where the heat gets to about 99-100 with 100% humidity and ive also lived in tennessee where the temps easily clear 100+ with usually around 75% humidity
