It’s summer, nearly midnight, 75° out, and I have a fridge full of cheap beer, but can’t sit outside without wearing a hoodie unless I want to be savaged by these fuckers.

Fuck you really hard, mosquitos. Night drinking on holiday eves is my one thing I have.

Add biting flies to that list.

Know the feeling, gone are summer nights chilling on the porch, because of these guys.

My uncle bought something similar to the  Mosquito Magnet . It’s a propane-powered mosquito trap. We used to slather on the DEET before walking into his back yard. Now it’s safe to go out there without any repellent. These things work!

It makes me miss living in the city. At least there I didn’t have to worry as long as I left my wallet and phone inside.

I like this idea. In the worse case scenario, I just shoot the propane tank.

Only thing worse is horse flys. I was done in a area that’s mostly swamp today I couldn’t even leave the indies open in my car without one of those big ugly things flying in every minute.

I’ve been getting eaten alive this last little bit. With all the rain we’ve gotten it’s like a damn swamp everywhere.

This is definitely the worse I remember it being in a while.

There’s one benefit to it being 100F with the sun down.

I grew up in Manitoba. If you’re not inhaling mosquitoes with every breath, they ain’t all that bad.

Also, mosquito bites up the nose are the worst. Except for the ones that get you at the urinal. Or the ones hiding in the toilet bowl.

That’s horrifying. I didn’t think anything was going to top horseflies.

If it was 98% humidity I’d think you were in Argentina.

This. Manitoba mosquitoes are horrible. And huge.

The only upside is they’re also quite slow because they’re so big, and easily noticed for the same reason... so you have a fighting chance of squishing them before they get started. But as night falls completely, you’ve got only two hands to deal with the buggers and it ain’t enough...

I’ve almost given up squishing them. The first few nights of the summer are pretty awful, but eventually you get used to it. Sorta. I mean, the bumps quit itching after a day or so if you give them time to pull their saliva back out.

Get some of this. I started out skeptical, but this shit really works. I mean, “99%” is marketing BS, but it does a good job regardless. And you aren’t inhaling a bunch of chemicals when you put it on, which is nice. Normally I’d rather go nuts slapping myself than use repellent just because I hate the smell.

Interestingly enough, I was introduced to it by a Manitoban...

Not a company I choose to support.

I don’t bother with repellents either. Really don’t enjoy having anything on my skin. I’ll put up with the bugs.

Suit yourself. I don’t use it at home (because I never got any and there’s not really any point most of the time in southern Ontario) but I found it a lifesaver in Manitoba. All in what you’re used to I guess.
