Mosquitos

[First-light]

What the hell just happened. The last two days I can't stay outside. These pests are all over like never before. Any ideas?

They need standing water to reproduce, and it does not take much, anything that can hold water will be a breeding ground so try and eliminate that.  

As far as keeping them away there is all kinds of stuff like candles, lanterns that burn citronella oil that help some, ThermaCell works pretty good.

The wife purchased a light for her gazebo that draws them in and traps them with a fan, it does work half way decent.. Then there is good old fashioned insect repellants.

I believe it's the cooler damp nights that get them out and about more this time of year. We noticed them too, the last few evenings.. West Nile numbers are going up. Cold like symptoms.

I’ve used devices such as the mosquito magnet with great success. Concentrate on breeding areas as suggested above.
