| We've been in a partial drought for a while. I've only seen three mosquitoes this summer. |

| At the beginning of summer, they were getting bad but now (like janet said-the drought) I hardly see any. |

| I have 'em when I try to go out at night when it's cooler to plant. But they are not nearly as bad as this spring. |
RE: mosquitoes

| Haven't seen many since June, when they were pretty bad. But I don't think we get as many here near the lake (Sheboygan) as they get inland. And there's not any marshy areas near my house, which helps too. |

| They're intense here. I use the Avon 'Expedition' (no DEET, and it works for me). Sure hope it's not a 'trigger' to give me some cootie down the line... DH, on the other hand, isn't bothered by mosquitoes. Says I must have sweet blood-- |
RE: mosquitoes

| Maybe I am getting used to them. Seems like they all hatched last Friday night. I seldom use bug stuff but did on Sat. morning. I found myself cursing and decided to use some repellant rather than curse in the garden-what would my beans think to hear me talk like that! This morning was not so bad though. |

"We held the day in the palm of our hand.
They ruled the night..." -Billy Joel, in "Goodnight Saigon" Ok, maybe that's obscure... Here in the Fox Valley, there is no reprieve. My main garden is maybe a mile from Lake Poygan, so the mosquitos haven't really let up all summer. Come sundown, if you are not wearing Deet, you're running for your life. |
