Mosquitoes

[Bethieboo]

Unless they are vampires and then they are not going to give you rabies anyway. They will just suck your blood and possibly turn you in to one of them unless you are just dinner. You are more likely to have that happen. Are there many vampire sightings in your area by chance?

I went through a stand of grass the other day and it was in a wet spot. The mosquitoes came out in a cloud. I couldn't believe it. Should I spray the area with some type of insecticide? I'm afraid we are going to have West Nile if I leave it as is.

We are having an influx of those blood suckers, but then again the mosquito is Wisconsin's state bird!
One thing that we found that works to protect ourselves when doing any outdoor activity is to put a fabric softener tissue in our pocket before venturing outside. Believe it or not it works! If you want faster better results rub the softener on a few places of your exposed skin.

jim I used to douse myself with skin so soft but it got to the point I would start sweating and it would run in my eyes and then I got were I could't stand the smell of the stuff.I've tried lemon grass to some success but that OFF fan with the repellant works best for me ,you can just clip it on your belt and pretty much forget about it and the skitters. russ
