We've lived here 18 years and this year's been the worst for mosquitoes in the house. No plants indoors, we spray the entry ways all the time. But dogs going in and out is the main problem.

Flies haven't been too bad, and we have a crazy horse lady as our back neighbor.

I’m beginning to see a few. We have been Mosquito free for the most part this year until now. The flies seem to be worse by some margin. The snakes have been out the last week or two, I have seen more then than I have seen all together since spring. I was laying on the ground welding a bearing hanger on my offset and a copperhead slithered up to check on me. He lost his head!

Scary - glad you got him

'Killed a coral on the back porch a couple of nights ago, with a stick. It was trying to hide in my gas grill.

I'm not making this up. It happened years ago. Some friends and I decided to camp out on the beach at SLP. We brought some of our supplies in a washtub. I was standing there when a swarm of Mosquitos attacked. I ducked under the tub with the hammer in my hand. The Mosquitos started drilling little holes in the tub with their beaks. I commenced hitting their beaks with the hammer thus flatting the beak to the tub. Finally the Mosquitos started flapping all of their wings at once and flew off with the tub.
