[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really have not noticed many mosquitos this year.  Honestly.  This is in Northern VA. . .so, I don't know where people have a ton of them?  (?)  [/quote]

we are in Arlington and noticed earlier this summer that we didn't have many -- now it is really, really bad.  my son was out in the yard the other night and got more than 20 bites in just a few minutes, and that was with some (poorly applied) OFF.[/quote]

Another Arlington resident here.  I went outside to light our grill and in a minute got 3 bites in less than a minute.  This was while I was on our deck (normally the safe zone). June and July weren't bad - it was like they were all waiting, planning and watching.  And its the nasty tiger ones (I swear the bites are itchier).

Sadly, what i do is avoid going out -or we go to the pool (does chlorine keep them away or something - or maybe it masks the human smell).

I'm not worried about West Nile, just trying to keep myself from getting eaten alive.  Luckily my son isn't as much of a magnet as I am.[/quote]
