We’re rethinking this “view site”
No it is not a year round problem. You might be seeing blind mosquito's that will sometimes swarm for up to two weeks in the general area of any kind of water or pond. They do not bite and individually die within 48 hours of showing up. Like love bugs they can be a nuisance but don't show up very often nor last very long. Welcome to Florida!
