Are they out where you are yet? Just got bitten multiple times yesterday in Fairfax. Don't remember it started this early.
Share your location/zipcode and the mosquito situation! |

They're in full swing in my backyard. I had my first bite 3-4 weeks go.

| Seems worse than last year. |

| Downtown DC. I’ve been spraying my daughter before school for a month now, otherwise she comes home with bites just from playing on the playground. I hate mosquito season. |

| I'm in MoCo. Mosquitoes are definitely out and biting. I just started with a company called Bee Safe Mosquito Control (basically upgraded Buckets of Doom that kill adults as well as larvae, no spraying). I'm hoping some of my neighbors will join as well. |

| It's been awful where I am in Chevy Chase MD, 20815. Compared to last year they emerged later but I feel like quantity and intensity are both worse this year. |

With the heat and not much rain, I’m having to make doubly sure all my standing water containers in my yard stay topped-off this week. I can’t have anything going dry and losing thousands of larvae about to fledge.
I hate all my neighbors with a fiery passion, so I leave dozens of empty flower pots and Rubbermaid containers out in my backyard so it’s a mosquito paradise. I provide lots of habit for the larvae to grow in, and then they grow up and fly away and annoy everyone around me. And no, I’m not kidding. |

I was thinking about doing a AMA on this in fact. |
