Muddy, you've had a rough Spring! If summer don't treat you better, you barret start living clean before fall.

Haha! I remember chasing the "fogger" truck through the neighborhood as a kid back in the 70's... surprised I don't have a 3rd eye or something.

While stationed @ Korat Royal Thai Air Base I 'enjoyed' eating dinner at the screened in mess while the base fogging machine sprayed the tent.

Mosquito's are just part of life in many parts of the USA. I have vivid memories working as a procurement forester in Southern Mississippi in the 1970's not long after getting my degree in Forestry from Utah State University. I distinctly recall being resistant to mosquito's after working for nearly a year down there outside 80+percent of the time.

The worst mosquito experience I recall was a place called Mosquito Flats in the Sierra Nevada range at the end of the road up Rock Creek west of Tom's Place as a teenager. My memory is swarms of mosquito's when there regardless of activity. Checking the Forest Service web site for the Inyo National Forest. Mosquito Flat is at the end of Rock Creek Road. My visits there were with my father and I have not been back due to moving away from California in the early '60's.

My worst was while stationed in Utah, visiting the Great Salt Lake at dusk to take pictures. As the sun sets clouds of mosquitos swarm up out of the mud flats. Only takes seconds to make to the parking lot and into the truck. LOL

I lived in Lafayette area in Louisiana and fished in the basin.I had a great crappie spot but the downed tree had a huge wasp nest above my head but as long as you don't bother them they usually left you alone except for one day.I got stung 14 times before I could start the Mercury pull start motor.Huge black wasps.I found another spot.
So when SM31 said there are things in the swamps worse than mosquito's that's what I remembered.
