I had my doors open for a while yesterday and I have killed two mosquitos in the house. It's warm and we had a lot of rain. If it doesn't get cold quick, they will hatch and eat us all!!!!
They are pretty bad from 98 north...so bad that the bats are going crazy too. I even had one (bat) slam into my windshield last night while driving home on 98.

It is only a surplus of poison if they don't spray it, and we all know what happens to budget money that doesn't get spent in the previous year. It is cut.

You're a lucky girl. It's pretty rare to have a bat hit your windshield.
I know ...how crazy was THAT? I dont know if it was gorged with bugs or had a problem with its little sonar but I freaked. And I had just told the kids (laughing at me ducking from them even tho I was in the vehicle) that I was going to be P***** if I hit one. But the thing bouncing off the windshield did make for alot of laughter for the remainder of the drive.

I don't know that it ever gets cold enough to kill the eggs. If that were the case, Alaska wouldn't have those giant size mosquitoes it is famous for. (no political commentary, please :D)
I do know that most species around here hatch at 70 degrees and I've seen a few of them since it warmed up. Not all that many, though. The truck came down my street last night too. Most annoying, I had to close all the windows. I was enjoying airing out the house. It is kind of strange because the truck seldom came around during the summer, when I had lots more mosquitoes.
