is there anyway to have a perfect season when there are no bugs or heat?

For the most part, it has been too chilly for mosquitos to do their thing. I know that will be changing very soon.

You might want to splurge and get another mosquito net...

They sell these fake hornets nests online and elsewhere.  It's suppose to keep the other bees and wasps away?  I heard that they work!  You might try that.  I have yet to buy one.  I have a horrible wasp problem.

Sorry about the mossies! Your poor face. We've had some big ones too. And gnats all over. I hope you find your face net. Mossies hate geraniums and marigolds, but nothing stops them really. Maybe they're eating the ants!

The Kansas City news is telling us that both Zika and West Nile virus mosquitoes are in the area and to take extreme measures to prevent bites.

I wish you could just stay in and garden somehow, or get some more "OFF". I love you.

You heard the story about the two Canadian mosquitoes

arguing about a fisherman they've spotted on the shore of a lake. The first says they should eat him on the spot, the second wants to take him with them...
