Default Mosquitoes

Anybody else finding mosquitoes quite bad this year. Last year I think I counted about 4, but this year it seems quite bad. Well it's bad down around the 22X area anyway.

By the way, thanks to all those people that said we need the rain about a month ago. I hope you get the most bites.

River Park is brutal. If you take your dog there, wear long sleeves, and deet.

I heard a month or so ago that conditions were pretty much ideal for mosquito breeding and it was supposed to be a really bad year for them, so it probably isn't just you. I've noticed quite a lot already too.

I thought they were pretty bad when I was out golfing yesterday. But I just got back from Yukon and NWT so I'm not complaining. If only they would stay out of my ears when I'm trying to swing!

I heard that this year is supposed to beat the worst year for mosquitoes we've ever had.

That what happens when the rains come so early

Stay indoors, shut your windows, lock your doors, make sure you have enough supplies for the summer

that will do the trick

Build a bat house on your property, watch the mosquitos in your area go down quite a bit.
