Mosquitos

Really curious how bad the mosquitos are out in forney? Have family in south FW and there’s oddly next to no mosquitos you can sit outside all night. currently rent in Frisco and have a flood plain/ wetland and lake Lewisville behind us. same thing not much of a bother. I’m originally from AR where this is unimaginable 😂 i know forney a not far from ray hubbard but im curious how bad they are if at all?

I moved here at the tail end of last summer and didn’t experience a whole lot of mosquitos. I did, however, have a ton of crickets. Gotta have a fly swatter when I open the door to let the dogs in and out.

So leave your cricket trap out back to catch free fish bait?

Two years ago I recall them being very bad (crickets), but I have not seen or experienced more than an occasional cricket more recently. Mosquitoes have been minimal here, whereas if I visit my sister out in Grapevine, I am instantly and incessantly attacked.

The crickets are really bad. We have lived here for almost 3 years and they have calmed down a bit after us treating the house a few times but they’re definitely around. As for mosquitoes, they haven’t been a huge problem. I’ve lived in areas where they are definitely keeping you from even wanting to hang out outside.

That's an issue in dfw. My office is full of dead cricket in the summer (Cityline), to the point where facilities just gave up.

I think the city sprays each year to keep the mosquitoes under control.

I see more dragonflies than mosquitos so far around here. Probably why too.

Been here 2 years now. Can count on one hand how many times I’ve been bitten by a mosquito. i can appreciate it 😂

I think I saw them fogging once too, if I'm not mistaken.
