2 mosquitos near the taillights I think "No problem." 10 seconds later.....Them Skeeters Started Bitin'! Probably about 50 swarming critters sent me flying into my apartment building, car doors open, engine running, dignity long lost.

City officials ended up sending in low-flying duster planes to spray the town, as mosquito problems became pretty severe for everyone.

Just wondering how the mosquitos are in your area?

You don't know mosquitos!.....Canada

Bat populations in Austin, like many other parts of the U.S. have taken a real crash. The effects on insect populations could be significant.

I hung 4 more bat boxes around the property this year. I love seeing em fly around the house eating the sh!t out of the bugs. Sweet revenge for when I installed my intakes and the mosquitos about damn near bled me dry.

Head up to Alaska in the summertime if you want to see a real mosquito...they come equipped with their own landing gear and tailhook!

LOL I don't doubt it! (The northwest can be brutal) When I was in Tacoma, Washington in summer 2007, I felt like the world itself was (truly) angry at me. Mosquitos RACKED me and my fellow trainees during our outdoors exercises.

Florida is supposed to have an excessively large population of huge Galliniper Mosquitoes this year.

For size comparison:

Same here in Red-Neck country! In Canada, they can actually carry you off to devour you.

Anything that inserts a syringe in my body without my permission is put to death instantly...if only I had a clue they were there...I hate these things, and the irony of scratching the bite and making it worse is all the more aggravating!

Must be Friday. I looked at the thread title and thought it said "Mojitos!!!!!!"

Mosquitos here in orlando tend to be a pain in the neck as well. And ive noticed they've gotten bigger as well, must be steroids in the water or something lol..summer time is never fun with them, the Nats and the "love bugs" all over the dammn place..Had a buddy tell me that listerine mouthwash is suppose to be a really good repellent. its what him and his buddies spray on themselves when out hunting. If it doesnt work at least you smell minty fresh i guess

Honestly, as much as I want to visit Florida, I keep thinking about the pest problems down there. I'll eventually go, but I'm definately not looking forward to confronting this "army of the damned" you speak of
