Alas, not only in Florida. Fortunately, mosquitos are controlled here in The Villages. Not often are they around, but every once in a while, there is a pesticide resistant bugger and one of them made it to our bedroom one night. Freaking buzz woke me and it was war...took about 30 minutes, but I got her!
