Boy, the 'Skitters are back with a vengance

The inside of my barn is Mosquito central. I've put a bug zapper in there, but think I need something else or something to attract them to it. Anybody have any suggestions?

If you set up a lawn chair and sit real quietly, you will attract plenty.

Same here, can't go outside without spraying with repellent first. We are getting one storm after another and there is standing water everywhere. It's the perfect conditions for them.

Me neither. Good thing, as like an idiot, I left the window open after I emptied a load of firewood out of the back.

I had neither seen nor felt a mosquito this year until today. A little after 9 a.m. the dog & I went for a brief (40 minutes) walk in the woods in the Community Park and I think 5 mosquitos got me. So I'll start using the repellent.

Isn't living in FL wonderful? I know this sounds goofy, but eat more garlic. No Seeums and ants are the only thing that bite me. Neighbor is complaining about Sand Fleas, and we have Gnats in our garden. But it is still better than snow!!!:thumbsup:

I have Barn Swallows here to keep the Vampire bugs at bay.
