By the time I got back to the table with the food around 5:55 my guests were SWARMED with mosquitoes. At first I thought "they must be over-reacting", but I soon learned otherwise. The little monsters were actually landing on the meat part sticking out from my sandwich! I had 4-5 on each arm immediately, several on my neck, legs, etc. I've never seen such a mosquito feeding frenzy.... Needless to say we had to bail out. Had some in my car on the way home, too.

Anyone else experience similar, there? Ideas? Do they spray? Any prevention possible, aside from avoiding the area altogether?
I live in Marsh Bend. About 9:15pm I saw the spray trucks going around, could hear them and they were definitely spraying. I've been out last 2 nights and no issues. I think they missed Edna's from the sound of it.
