mosquitoes have the decency to leave after dinner.
But they can still make you sick:
There are several virus agents of encephalitis in the United States: West Nile virus (WN), eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), western equine encephalitis (WEE), St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), La Crosse (LAC) encephalitis, dengue and yellow fever all of which are transmitted by mosquitoes.
at least the mosquitoes have the decency to leave after dinner.
Dave, that's Funny!!
send me your address. I can send you a bottle, with a few leaves in it, and about 200 ticks. They are HARD to count, because they are wiggly! You KEEP the lid on it, and show it off!! Stick it on the counter. It's worse than a horror movie. (I have done this!)
(Grin) It's just a "Terrorist jar".

PS, complain to wendell, and get me banned! (IF you like) It's just surveyor humor.
Those teeny, tiny deer ticks are the worst.?ÿ Stepped out of the truck one day for five minutes to look at what we about to do.?ÿ As I started to get back in, I looked down and my jeans appeared to be alive with movement.?ÿ Hundreds of those critters going this way and that all at the same time.?ÿ Found a spot with no grass, danced a jig and sprayed with Off until the pants were wet.?ÿ Did not go back.
I have been using a ??tickless? device to ward off ticks. It broadcasts an ultrasonic frequency that confuses them. It doesn??t make them go away, but prevents them from biting, and makes it more likely they fall off you.?ÿ
I was skeptical at first, but have been tick free so far this year??..?ÿ
