The county/state are also spraying a lot to kill them, same situation east of the Cooper. I suspect the bird population has taken a big hit for lack of bugs to eat.

I live on the marsh, where mosquitoes should be thick as, I was gonna say flies but somehow that does not work, anyway, really really thick. And the last 2 years they were pretty thick as expected. This year however it has been so dry, I have seen maybe 4 mosquitoes since it got warm. It rained a bit the other day for the first time in about 2 months, and I expect there to be a hatch any time of the buggers. It is hard to decide whether the drought is good or bad since it has impeded the skeeter population. --R On 6/20/11 7:44 PM, Rick Knoble wrote: >>> roger...@comcast.net wrote: >>> Doesn't anyone have a car problem we can >>> discuss or fix?
