I'm thinking someone must have made them Michigan's State bird or something....I can't go outside without being swarmed... How are they where you live this year?

Not bad during the day. At night they become a real pain...

even during the day they are everywhere. I thought about bombing them but that would screw up my yard...

Try rubbing Bounce fabric sheets on your bare skin. People say it really works.

I'm not sure that would help...I put "off" on 3 times while picking my raspberries and they still bite.

I don't have to worry about them..they don't like my blood!! I rarely, if ever, get mosquito bites! Yay me :)

I heard recently that drinking tea helps with them not biting you. As I drink ALOT of tea, and have not had one single mosquito bite in two years, I'd have to agree..

Maybe I could find a "blood donor" of sorts for them...you know, tie someone I'm not too fond of up to a tree and let the bugs get them... It's a thought

I always attract mosquitos, but it's especially bad here this year. Mostly in the evening, right after sunset.

They're bad in St. Louis in the daytime and nighttime. We had floods so they are really bad. And they love me.

Doctor told my brother, heavy doses of vitamin B1, he used that when he was in Scouts.

They won't bite my dad. They could be sitting on his arm and he doesn't swat at them. I don't get it.
