Question - Yes, I know this is Florida and this comes with Mozzies, but just wondered why they have suddenly appeared, and will this be ongoing through the winter?


Thanks
Mosquitoes don't seem to like me but my neighbor can't be outside for a few minutes without them bombarding her. There is a product (sorry I don't know the name of it) that can be purchased through a quilt shop in Ephrata Washington. They don't carry it themselves but sell it for a local business I believe. There are actually two products that they swear by. One keeps the mosquitoes away and the other helps to eliminate the itching afterwards. I have purchased fabric from this shop and was happy with their service. They have been in business for 24 or 25 years, a mother and daughter duo. If you want to try the product give them a call and let them know what you need. If the person you are speaking with on the phone is not familiar with the product ask for Brianna or Cindi (owners.) Their phone number is (509) 754-8280. I've been meaning to get this for my neighbor but keep forgetting about it.
