"I remember when I lived in Western Kansas, I doubt I ever saw a mosquito the entire five years."

The mosquitoes at Ft. Riley tore me up...of course that's in the northeastern part of the state and essentially a peninsula being bound on three sides by Tuttle Creek Lake, Milford Lake and the Kansas River.

I live in rural NW Florida. Mosquitoes are not a problem. I will see a few over the entire Summer but never a swarm.

The only thing which bothers me here are what I call dog flies. If I walk around the yard, one will often buzz around my head.

I can keep them away by spraying the top of a boonie hat with insecticide containing pyrethrin or permethrin and wearing it.
