I'm from the North also and I can't tell you how many stories I heard about bugs. People said I wouldn't want to live in Florida because of too many bugs. I have lived in both Michigan and Ohio and they have way more bugs than I've encountered here. The Villages sprays the neighborhoods and we really don't notice any. I haven't been bit by a mosquito in over 4 years and in Michigan and Ohio they were so big they could carry away a human. As far as snakes go, I haven't seen one either, although you do hear of a few on the golf courses near the ponds. A few people I know have seen a couple in their yards. I just don't go walking around in deep grass or stick my hands into a thick bush. Come on down!
