More proof this is working - we hung out with the neighbors across the street last Wednesday for a driveway happy hour. They are out of range of our eradicator. I didn’t even think about mosquitos beforehand, and swatted a few while we were talking, but clearly missed a bunch, as this is now what my left leg looks like.

Had to go to the doc for oral steroids because the itching was so bad I couldn’t sleep. As a bonus got an antibiotic, too, since several were getting infected because I could NOT keep my hands off them. (The ankle isn’t as swollen as it looks in the pic, the angle is weird.)
The doctor actually counted them. I may have set a record! 40 spots on the left leg, only 15 on the right.
They've always loved me. One year at camp I had to get meds because my ankles were so swollen from them and I was starting to get red streaks like blood poisoning emanating from the worst of them.Whoa!!! Yikes!!! You must be really sweet, for the mosquitos to have bitten you so many times!
Even bats don't have such a good name this year. They really need to up their consumption of mosquitos if they want to get back in favor.There is no good reason for a mosquito. Bats and purple martins can just learn to eat something else.
