Okkkkkkkk it had to happen eventually, mosquitos are out in full friggin' force up my way, just when I thought we'd have an itch and swat free summer. Anyone else notice the skeeter problem the last few days?

Umm, exactly how many days ago are we talking about? One week ago there was nary a skeeter to be found in T-Cones or anywhere else in the city; I only got bites when outside the city, and I'm talking maybe five or six in total.

Just spoke with my cousin in Transcona on Facebook. She said there is an increase, but it really isn't that bad where she is. At night they are worse, but during the day, virtually nada.

Manitoba is the only province in Canada that has skeeters. We are special!

I can't seem to get them to show up in my yard! Something is definitely wrong. I go to take out the garbage 10 pm and there's not a single one of them. Perhaps we are spraying too much.Goth_chic wrote:Manitoba is the only province in Canada that has skeeters. We are special!

trap counts all still hovering at medium city wide

But then again it gets so nice and cool at nights it knocks most the the skeeters down overnight so not much chance for the traps to fill up.
