Freakin' mosquitos d@mn near carry you off outside in the evenings. And we also have a bumper crop of these things that look just like mosquitos but aren't, but they are still annoying as h^ll because they seem to like to fly right around your ears and eyes.

Yup, I agree! The hatch just took over my back yard in the last 2 days!

I'm OK with it though as I work for the company that makes OFF and a ton of other insect repellent. I get it for next to nothing and if we have a good bug year my profit sharing check goes up!

Actually, one of the best new products we make right now is the OFF Lantern. They burn for like 3 hours and not a mosquito will come within 15 yards of it. I use them all the time when we have backyard parties, etc.
