Realized the mosquitoes hadn't bothered her at all--until the evening of the day she had forgotten to take her allergy meds.

Wiped the sweat off my arm off once, and both my hand and my arm turned red from the blood that dozens of hungry Mossies had sucked out.<br /><br />They make some sort of "Keeps Mosquitoes from hatching" thing they sell around here for bird baths.

If they are a problem it is usually only in the evening or early morning. Yes, it is always discouraging that the days are getting shorter from now on. Our sunrise is 5:04 this morning, and sunset at 9:17.

It doesn't sucker and blooms in early June - long after the traditional lilacs have stopped blooming. <br /><br />Oh yes, I've experienced a few MN and ND mosquitoes - big and relentless creatures.
