We have lived in Charlotte for 2 years and the mosquitos are terrible after dusk. We have been in the Lake Deaton pool and at dusk they all seemed to come out and start biting.

Sumter county sends mosquito fogging trucks in the evening at about 10:00. My husband and I used to walk in the evening at that time and have been our when they are spraying. It is a very heavy fog and we have had to try to run home to avoid breathing in the spray. Even with the fogging mosquitos are a problem in Charlotte. We paid for terminix and it was a waste of money. They say they will come out and respray but they didn't and I dropped the service because when they did spray it didn't do anything.

The contact information for Sumter county mosquito abatement is Ph: 352-689-4400. The email is administrative.services@sumtercountyfl.gov.

I bought a Komodo dragon and he keeps the mosquitoes at bay.

We don’t have mosquito problems here in TV.

At dusk you will get eaten alive if you live near the preserves or near water. I have been told by a landscaper that sprays for mosquitos not to waste you money.....if your neighbors don't use it then your yard and home area have just gotten bigger. Don't waste your money.

We've been on 4 lifestyle visits (is that a record?). We never had any issues with mosquitos. Does anyone have any comments on the need for a mosquito service at your home ?

Have lived in Santo Domingo just about 3 years. No mosquito bite yet! (Knock on wood). There is nothing that I do. TV must take care of it.

I think Massey Services must look at TOTV posts as they have recently started a "mosquito" service.

No doubt their next venture will be "dog poop removal".

At a driveway party last week in SC and as soon as the sun went down the mosquitoes started. I itched for a week.

In 7 years, I’ve had one mosquito bite. And I sit out a lot at night be the fire pit. (And drink beer) 😀... also not near water or preserves.

Lack of availability of accommodations may have been the reason why you were denied a LS visit. Each visit, we had to give TV a range of dates that were acceptable to us. The 4th visit was made possible by a last-minute cancellation.
Get, then be, well.

Seen very few mosquitoes here in over fourteen years. Some new folks will see dead insects on siding and around lights and think they are the biters but could be what people call "blind mosquitoes". They don't bite. They just die on your house and you have to sweep them off.

Google them.

I have NEVER seen the truck that stealthily comes in the night and kills mosquitoes.

Please don't start on pesticides being harmful. Real mosquitoes carry yucky stuff sometimes and they really cause some of us big itchy painful bites. Not allowed in lower paradise.

Are they the old fashioned "biters" or the blind mosquitoes that just die on your house?
