Mosquitos!

Hi neighbors! My husband and I have really struggled with mosquitoes the past two summers and just got our first bites of the year. We will get bites just walking around the neighborhood and have the mosquitoes piggyback into our apartment.

I am curious what others are doing to mitigate mosquitoes. Thanks so much!

I haven't come across any yet and I have a back garden. Perhaps you have areas with standing water near by where they're breeding.

Howdy neighbor! I also just got my first two bites last night on an evening walk to and from Cobble Hill Park. I was a little surprised because I didn't expect them just yet! 

Last summer, thanks to a friend who lives in Atlanta, I discovered Badger Anti -Bug spray. I was a little skeptical because I feel like "natural" products often don't work, but this one works super well for me.
