DrB Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 How are they in your area? Here is hot and high humidity with no breeze, they are terrible the past few days. Does not help I have a small swamp down by the river on my property. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Not bad this year. 2014 and 15 were like Biblical Plagues. 2016 it was Yellow Jackets. All stores were completely wiped out of any kind of bee spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston_Convert Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Haven't really had an issues with mosquitoes this year (it's been dry), but yellow jackets are out of hand and there are few traps or sprays available because of high demand.

We don't get the ocean breeze like the coasts do and we are very close to a large lake. We use a Mosquito Magnet for areas around the house but away from there you are fair game.

DrB Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Can't even sit out by the fire here the last few evenings without being swamped with them. For you without them, you are lucky this year. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I could be rancid, but I can't even remember the last time I got bit. We've got bats, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't kept them away before. Besides, we've had more than double the amount of rain we normally have this summer. We've had crazy winds. Maybe they 'blew' north.

DrB Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I hate it now as a few got in the house. Try to sleep and hear the "Bzzzzzeeeee" . When the noise stops you know they have landed to bite. Bring back the DDT.. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c10bonanza Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 One side of my yard doesn’t drain well. I never have standing water, but it is frequently moist in that area. Mosquitos breed like crazy there. I’ve yet to find a good solution short of installing a trench drain or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I know? I have one of those assholes showing up each spring, faking car alarm and other sounds starting at 2 AM sharp each night, in an attempt to find a female to hump on. He likes the tree next to my bedroom particularly. I had to water hose the tree for 2 weeks just after sunset to move his ass across the street into a neighbors tree. If he shows up again next year I'll either burn the tree down or my BB rifle may have an accident discharge. This year I didn't get proper sleep for 2 month straight. I take our mosquitoes over Mr ******* any freakin' time! And yes, I gave him that name and I call him ******* when I'm out in my yard.
