Deep freeze makes them stronger. Ask anyone from Alaska or Canada.

Yikes - hang a couple of those bug zappers

And, wait them out.

Very good Skip

Permanent. They stopped it years ago. They used to spray in TV. You could see and hear the trucks go by at about 2 or 3 am. They stopped and now we have mosquitoes.

Two weeks ago we saw swarms of termites. Many ended up floating in open sky pool. Coming from dead, rotting stumps. We burnt some on the ground. Its the one we don't see now that we have to worry about !

Looks nasty, love Florida except for the bugs (mosquitoes, Love Bugs). Good luck, hopefully it’s a temporary problem.

Wonder why they would have stopped?

For Lake County - spray truck route is based on capture numbers and phone calls. You can find details on Mosquito and Aquatic Plant Management Division of Environmental Utilities

You can plant garlic or citronella. Both of these plants repel mosquitoes. You’ll see a lot of garlic plants around here. We have several in our yard. Very effective.

Thanks to this post saying they don't bite, I ventured out to hose all the outdoor windows, walls, stairs, railings and awnings, and it's better today! From a million of them yesterday to almost none today. Weird. Maybe they went next door!
