So Freepers... what is up with the mosquito population where you live?

[lurk]

Insect populations are very fluid. Factors being food, water, chemicals, temps, predators, human activity. Count the little dead bodies mashed on your windshield and multiply by the millions of cars on the road.

[Ellendra]

They all moved to Wisconsin.

Just north of Minneapolis/St. Paul here. LOTS of mosquitoes, in case anyone wants some.

[M Kehoe]

Mosquitoes are everywhere. I’m scratching as I type.

Juneau has some nice mosquitoes.

So does Turkey.

Ft. Polk sucks. I had to pontificate...

5.56mm

If you feel the lack just come and hang out in my brother's back yard for an hour.

You will come in looking like you have chicken pox.

Eastern PA. Haven’t seen any this year.

I’ve driven home well after dark with nary a smashed bug on the grill.

[Hot Tabasco]

Mosquito populations are dependent on rainfall and the subsequent pooling of water in which to lay their eggs. Little rainfall, fewer mosquitos......

[TribalPrincess2U]

Come to think of it, I just ask my husband if he’s seen very many. We usually have a lot. He said he hadn’t and he’s out everyday in the backyard.

Hmmm

Northeast United States here

Not just Mosquitoes, but there were very few Junebugs this year.

Usually June/ early July I put my fish on a Junebug diet, they love the extra protein, but this year there were none throughout June and a just a few in the 1st couple of days in July.

The Cicadas are coming out normally

Mosquitos need standing water to hatch. In our little corner of Wisconsin, we have had little rain, so therefore little standing water.. We have fewer mosquitos than some years. We just took a vacation to northern WI where they have had copious amounts of rain. Their mosquitos were out in full force!

[smokingfrog]

They haven’t left the Bayou City as far as I can tell.

[umgud]

Never see many here in central CA. Mosquito’s and tornado’s are things I don’t miss about Kansas.

[angcat]

I am looking for the bumble bees and butterflies I don’t see much of them in NEPA. We have been bitten up by mosquitoes though.

[txrefugee]

Central TX has very few mosquitoes, but we are making up for it with an abundance of wasps at the present time. They are trying to build nests everywhere, so we are making our rounds with the spray because a family member is allergic to their stings.

[killermosquito]

That is a good question. My house has the development storm retention pond behind it and prior summers I’ve had lots of mosquito bites. I had a couple in the spring but none since.

And, in years past lots of bullfrogs. They are gone too.

[exnavy]

Their all right here in southwest Michigan.

[SelmaLee]

They are alive and well in Southern IL.

[Dr. Sivana]

Here in Colorado you see this type of thing with our good friend the prairie dog. If you have the misfortune of needing to get rid of a town of prairie dogs, good luck. You do so late at night (and cities/counties do this quite often) and the town just isn’t there the next day.



Gay Balfour's Dog-Gone vacuum service (in Colorado!) works during the day.

We have mosquitoes in NH, fewer than last year but I'm not complaining.

[tnlibertarian]

Where have all the skeeters gone,
And where are all the fleas?
Where’s the little no-see-um,
To bite a Hercules?
