Bugs???
My wife has a show in a gallery in May. Afterwards we are tentatively thinking of heading north through northern BC and the Yukon. Then taking the ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy and then mosey...

The last 4 times we have been to the Yukon and Alaska, I could count the bug bite's on one hand, got 2 bite's this summer and we went all the way to the Arctic Circle. Also we carry bug dope but never even took it out of trailer this yr.
Finally somebody who knows the actual situation. Living in the Yukon for 27 years, I never use bug repellent. In the rare situations where bugs are bad (Meziadin Lake, BC, has always been bad when I've been there), I just make my outside activities short. Even up the Dempster (where we spend a fair bit of time), I have rarely been "bugged" to any annoying level.
