Mosquitoes were bad this year. We had the bachelor party outdoors and I had made homemade bug spray in hopes that would help but ended up getting out the deet later that night. No mosquitoes at the wedding though. Plenty of other bugs that seemed to just love the tulle in my dressThank you for the info I really enjoy it. As far the snow, well if we don't have harsh winters we have spring summer and fall insects. I will take snow and very low temps over the mosquitoes that seem to take more then their fair share here.
