The mosquitoes have been particularly bad this season; I suspect it is a result of all of the rain we had a while back. We’ve been trying to avoid going out during the mosquito feeding hours (sunrise and sunset) but they seem to be bad all day long the past couple of weeks. One of my neighbors told me that she had heard that there was a new breed of mosquitoes that is smaller than the “usual” ones that has stripes on it that feeds around the clock! Oh, lucky us!

I’ve heard that citronella candles repel mosquitoes! Maybe you could try burning some of those!
