we're just north of 466A...surrounded by preserves and retention ponds...unless you're out walking after sunset without bug spray there's no issue with mosquitoes, and we've never been attacked by hordes of mosquitoes....but we also don't eat a lot of bananas. I read somewhere a while back that bananas emit a chemical from your pores that those pesky little critters really seem to be attracted to (unfortunately I don't have the source of that)

now, as far as a lighted cigarette keeping those little buggers away, that's most likely a result of the mosquitoes understanding the dangers second hand smoke presents

bottom line, don't worry about it...if you want to go out in the evenings go to any of the 'squares' the large gathering will lower the odds that you'll be the one that gets bit
