Is it my imagination or do we have many more bugs in the Villages than we had in previous years. I go out to play twilight golf and come back with oodles of bites.

What say u?

Isn't happening up here in the Northern reaches of TV. I play Walnut Grove or Briarwood every evening, and have not seen a single bug.

Lots more than usual especially those gnats that flock around your head when you're trying to putt.

I would agree. Last year we didn't notice anywhere near the problems with bugs that we have encountered this year. When we go out to walk the pooch we have to douse ourselves in OFF just to take the walk.

We have also had lots & lots & LOTS of ants this year. We've had to have Dean's come back for extra sprayings several times this spring & summer.

I saw crazy ants at LSL the other night, and one thing is for sure, they are crazy!

I have to agree I live close to those courses and also have not seen bugs.

We have had large numbers of Gulf Frittilariy and Monarch butterflies in our butterfly garden this year.
