I live in Amelia, backing to a retention pond, and my house is COVERED with them. There must be millions of them (and I am NOT exaggerating) all over the eaves, my garage door, my screens, and I cannot walk out of my house without being attacked by them.

When I came home from work last night and pulled into my garage and closed the door with my remote, I got out of the car and I could hear them buzzing. I turned on the overhead light, and to my horror, there were probably 1/2 million of them @#$%& things on the ceiling and walls of my garage. My guess is that they got sucked into the garage when the door went up, and now they were trapped. This morning, half of them are dead on the floor, and I'm just waiting for the other half to croak.

When I called the District Property Mgmt offices @ 751-6713 last year, they said Sumter county was responsible for spraying. So, I called them @ 793-0240, and they said that they spray regularly for mosquitoes. But, I never heard the truck come around, nor did I see them at the pond.

I will call Monday morning and get on them again, as this infestation is ridiculously out-of-control.
