In the northeast, this has been the rainiest and coolest June that I can recall. We've had, in 22 days, at least 20 with rainfall...most of the time heavy. I know other parts of the country are experiencing this, too. This is a perfect recipe for mosquitoes..standing water and puddles are ideal breeding grounds. This summer is going to be horrible with the little suckers! All I can say is.... really stock up on 'Deet'!

We've had a pretty warm and dry late spring/early summer. But the other night we had a very intense thunderstorm, followed by a misty morning. I swear I could hear the mosquitoes hatching. We worry about the West Nile Virus in Canada too, and I'm also concerned that my pup doesn't get bitten too badly.

We here where I live have to worry about "West Nile Virus" from the skeets, it will kill human and animals alike, if not treated properly and on time.

Ours just came out the last 2 days. As soon as you step outside, they attack! We don't have them for very long, soon as the hay meadows dry up. I'll trade the heat for the bugs any day!

Don't you just hate mosquitoes ?! Luckily, here in Indiana, they are not year round. When we were in Calif. we dealt with them all the time...yuck. Don't run out of repellent. :)

Yep, dump out any standing water, try to dry out areas around your house and get some cintronella
