There are bugs and snakes up north, too. (Friends in MN had three very aggressive rattlesnakes come after them in their garage a couple of years ago.) The naysayers say this stuff because they're afraid of change and are not adventuresome (we like how so many TV-ers are adventuresome and want to try new things).
As for TV, I've yet to see a live snake. In and around our courtyard villas, there's not much for them to eat. I know they're around the golf courses, and so I stay out of peripheries. We do keep our garage door down all the time.
And with mosquitos, the spraying they do at night seems to work really well. I got far more nasty bites last year when visiting friends in the Midwest.
