Mosquitoes??
So, last year we were overun with mosquitoes. And...they absolutely freaking ADORE me and no amount of mosquito candles and long sleeves and bug spray made a damn bit of difference. To make it worse, every bite turns into a big purple welt on my pasty ass skin. I couldn't enjoy my yard at all, and I love spending time outside in the evenings. This year, I aggressively tackled the problem and bought (purportedly) mosquito repellent plants and strategically set them up around the seating. More importantly, I discovered Buckets of Doom. We're six weeks into the death Buckets and so far I haven't noticed any of those little idiots when I'm in the yard. But, Im not actually sure that my buckets and plants are working yet? I don't remember when we should start being miserable and itchy.... Have the mosquitoes arrived and my system is working or are they just not here yet and I have to wait and see?
