USNRET Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 That is all. I need to mow, well only the parts that are not under water. Bride thinks the neighbors will call the guys with the white jackets but I ain't mowing without netting tucked around me on the ZTR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basically only going outside to a vehicle or there are fans and bbq smoke involved.

JJkizak Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 What happened to the deal many years ago where they were sterilizing the females and then all the critters would not be able to reproduce? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 JJ the sterilizing has a way to go it seems. Mike, deep woods off is rated the best repellent, it works pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried one but from watching them your right, go to hit a mosquito and run into a tree or get thrown off. 6 hours ago, CECAA850 said: 15 hours ago, dtel said: You do have a point, they are nice.

And Willybob Never thought about that, one of the most odd animals out there, but he should be easy to spot, if he is not turned sideways. He says he is real thin, may look like a Q-tip ?

USNRET Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 The bad part is getting a yellow jacket attack at max speed. Daughter started using it when she was 12. One acre and 100 trees is not for a push mower. She takes the noise cancelling headphones and Spotify with her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I've lived in the desert. Mosquitos were 100 times worse there, then in the lush forests of Oregon. I can't figure that out...

I have only encountered them at the lake. You can leave your door open without a screen. I cannot live anywhere where there are mosquitoes. I went to Oregon and loved it but the Mosquitoes were awful. I remember at Crater Lake, we could not stop moving the entire hike and even then they kept on us. We couldn't go to the park or the Rogue River for any length of time either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 In Ohio they don't seem to bother us when we are busting butt working and sweating. A least that's what I remember 68 years ago bailing hay when I was around 10 years old.. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to give no credit to the people that jokingly said "Oh, you're just so sweet." Turns out they weren't too far off base. I read an article not too long ago that came to that conclusion.

I have to say, being from South louisiana I have some experience with mosquitos but was always surprised when we went camping one hour North and there were no mosquitos. We could never figure it out, lakes, ponds and other water in and around the campgrounds and no mosquitos, we could sit outside at night. We now live one hour north of New Orleans and we rarely have mosquitos here and we can sit outside with no problems and we have a 1.5 acre pond and 12 smaller ponds. One small pond out by the bar 6'x 25', the other 11 are about 20' x 40' and no mosquitos, I have no idea what causes them in some areas ?
