It's great to have so many choices, including the one to live here or not, with so much to be grateful for. --- Who "woulda thunk" ?

You forgot golf course conditions, trash cans at postal centers, and Stonecresters who sneak onto TV facilities...

Serious question, not a comment nor an innuendo: has anyone noticed an uptick in mosquitoes in TV lately?

Yes I did, but I'm also the guy who forgot coffee in the coffee pot.

No and we live by the swamp. (nothing political intended)

BUT there is a lot of water caught in places after the heavy rains we have been having. I bet there are pockets of them. Wise of the skeeter getters to set traps so they know where to spray.

I have not. But, this is prime mosquito season, and given the amount of rain (and standing water) it would not surprise me if there was an increase.

When the traps catch enough we spray that area".
Thank you for the info; I had no idea who to call. That’s the great thing about TOTV; some friendly people respond with what’s asked, with others, not so much....
