In Maine.

In December.

What the heck are there mosquitos doing in Maine in December?

Yeah, the ticks and mosquitos are still very active in NJ. Unusual. Too warm.

I have a few flys and lady bugs.

Interesting thing about flys. I would find them in between my coal bags which were stored outside. These flys were still alive in February and would revive when the temperature increased.

Mosquito's and I don't get along. I can be standing next to 5 people and none of them will get bit and ill have 3 or 4 bites. they even bite me through long sleeve shirts and get up under my jeans and bite my legs etc... I even get bit on my neck. No bug sprays every work for me. I load the stuff on to. I havent seen a mosquito for a little while now. if they are around they will find me.

My wife is the same way. Mosquitoes find her tasty. She gets bitten over and over and I almost never get bitten.

Have you tried 100% deet? http://www.amazon.com/BARRIER-INSECT-REPELLENT-10 ... d_sim_sg_4

No I havent. I thought a lot of deet was bad for you?

That you killed a mosquito, they'll be knocking on your door.

You miss the memo on that one?

+2 on the DEET!!!
They may still fly around you but they won't land.
