It's all about the rain. They lay eggs, the rains come, the water rises, the lava hatch, and ... presto, tons of annoying mosquitoes! I'm allergic. I hope their sex is terribly painful.

Oops, no, I think that idea's already been taken. :) I like the idea of lavender better… maybe I’d be inspired to start a “lavender and lace” mystery novel.

She said to rub or sweet almond oil. (Lavender smells better) I just recieved my tip of the day from Heloise and her subject was exactly this. She said to rub or sweet almond oil.

Must admit the "hordes" is a bit of an exaggeration but if they're still flitting around when the next batch of nice weather arrives I might just give your idea a try. Thanks. Heather--You haven't forgotten Tok! [lol] By their own admission Tok, Alaska's "state bird" is the mosquito. I should see if I can find the picture I took there, of our RV window screen plastered with them! Tricia–I haven’t used anything (yet).

I think lavender oil rubbed on all your exposed parts might do the trick. Ask at your local health food store which oil is best. Must be 100% pure essential oil. Have you tried essential oils?

They all seem to be guarding my black raspberry bushes. I have to wear long sleeves and jeans to pick the berries, otherwise I'd be in danger of passing out from loss of blood. :( Good luck on the novel. I haven't had time to read through the older posts to see what you're working on. Are you close to finishing? Carol I don’t have a laptop, and haven’t encountered many mosquitoes in our house.

Good luck on the novel. I haven’t had time to read through the older posts to see what you’re working on. Are you close to finishing?

Funny? You both laughed? Hey, you try concentrating on revisions with a constant buzz in your ear. (Oh, wait. That was the buzz *inside* my head... the one I was getting from the insect spray.) Smacking blood suckers is decidedly distracting. I don't recommend it while you're trying to write. Whoever it was that said writing was just a matter of opening a vein and watching the blood drip onto the page must have been acquainted with mosquitoes, too. ;) Hilarious? Funny? You both laughed?
