I’m in southeast Texas, the mosquito population is a little “too much”, but it’s normal around here.
Also, keep some pseudofed aka pseudoephedrine (can be purchased over the counter) on hand. It helps. Benadryl also can help.
Billions up here in Elmore County, Alabama...
I think at least half of them have sampled me, too.
I’m in the same area; not many mosquitos but the gnats are off the charts where I work (Arlington area)
I assumed that after that mild winter we’d have a bumper crop of mosquito by now.
It is not wise to talk about such things. We don’t want mosquitoes put on an endangered species list and get fined or go to jail for slapping at them.
Yep...I catch them and let them loose in my apartment.
I’m north of Argyle.
No pest issues whatsoever.
Low to nothing outside Houston.
San Antonio- I noticed a very large reduction in the mosquitoes in my area the last couple months and I think it’s due to the hot weather. They were around a whole lot more before the cold weather ended.
No mosquitoes in Dameron Valley, UT in 13 years. It is pretty dry here in high desert country.
Fine mesh mosquito suits are a must have for outdoor activities...
This was the 70’s.
Canvas tents, canvas backpacks with simple leather straps that dug into your collarbones.
Yea we had mesh on the tent openings.
At least on our trip to Horse Lake, we didn’t have to do the Horrible Horse Portage. Our counselor was a native and wintered in the area.
He knew a shortcut. A 400 rod portage would have been a *itch. Or so I was told.
LOL. I once did that in Boca Raton, FL. Well, close.
When we had an ant problem (my roommate at the time was less than cleanly), I openned the front door, snuck out, waited 15 minutes, and then chased the little buggers who were sunning themselves on the patio into the apartment.
Waited a few days, no more ants.
Then just opened the front door and make a lot of noise. Geckos fled.
Free pest control!
