Are you tired of battling bugs in Maine? Biting insects, like mosquitoes, ticks and black flies, flourish in this heavily forested state. Despite the cold that descends on the area for several months out of the year, the rocky coastline and plentiful natural areas are also a haven for bugs like carpenter ants, spiders and beetles. It is Maine's beautiful landscape and relaxed atmosphere, however, that attract people to the area despite the pest problems.
The Pine Tree State has a little something for everyone. Portland, the largest city, gives visitors a glimpse of the art and history of the area, while Bar Harbor shows the beauty and simplicity of small town life. From the Acadia National Park to the Cape Neddick Light, the beauty and wonder of this area make the pest problems seem quite unimportant in comparison.
