   Well I live in the mangroves along the route of the EC on Pine Island. The good news is very few noseeums. The bad news is we have had a very, very wet and warm winter. We will be setting heat records the next few days and I have never experienced the number of Mosquitos we have now. Nothing like the everglades and they spray for mosqutos here but damn, we usually get several months of freedom from mosquitos.Armor up folks! Thems bugs is bad! DWMM

   After being exsanguinated by skeeters in Choko last year, this makes me wish for a different plague. Leeches anyone? :D

   After paddling the Canadian side of Superior in July, we were wishing for mosquitoes in place of the black flies. I can't wait!

   +1 on the ear plugs also I carry a thermocell. first thing i turn on when getting to camp and then when I wake up i turn it on and by the time i'm ready to get out of the tent they are gone. it takes about 10 minutes to run them all off and it works on the noseeums too. then it's the last thing to pack up before leaving. usually during the day and even at night when moving they aren't much trouble in the sunlight. in some of the tighter creeks you might get some but not too bad in March. for that i carry spray and a bug shirt which is way better than just a hat as i wear thight shirts (to show off my awesome abs) lol.

   Well Mrs Mullet and I went kayaking today at collier Seminole park, walked for 45 minutes on the waterfront in Everglades city then walked from the Ivy house to camilla st grill for dinner. Total mosquito bites? 1! The cold front is cranking but yesterday I had to cut short a visit to a friend who lives in the center of pine island due to mosquitos. It is definitely hit or miss. DWM
