    So there you have it. In Florida you have to contend with so many environmental, economic and governmental anomalies who in their right mind would live there?

    I live in Port Charlotte on a canal and I have tons of those buggers. I walked out in my yard about an hour ago and got bit ZEVO is a better body spray for insects. Better and stuff with deet. This year is worse with more invasive or problematic insects.
    A bit of knowledge for everyone. Promote Dragonflies and Damsel flies. One Dragonfly can eat 100 mosquitos away.
    Put fresh basil in bird baths, small cisterns (if you have them) and in drinking water for chickens and other birds, It prevents skeeter breeding, and Noseeums don't seem to like it either.

    We have them in San Diego. You sit out in the evening and the next morning bites ans severe itching all over the ankles. They seem to never go higher than ankles. And the name is correct because you no see um and no feel um until the next day.

    I was right there and it was a nightmare, even when I sprayed all my body and head they were inside my car and everywhere. But they were friendly hugging all others who did not have spray, lol.

    That’s not good news. What a bummer! We had already planned for over a year to visit Sanibel in a couple of months. I’m very allergic to bug bites and always look like I contract measles all over my body, especially on my legs!!! We wonder how bad are they going to be then? 😢

      Well, just plan it so you're not there between May through November. When it gets cooler, it dies down a lot.

I have a video on my channel called "waccasassa recon" that shows a lot of it from the water, cheers!
