The scourge of Minnesota is here in full force. They are big, hairy, beasts, with fangs. I don’t like mosquitoes. I don’t like mosquito bites. I don’t like being chased around my garden by the blood sucking vermin. I don’t like spraying my skin with poison\u00a0 to ward them off. I don’t like being kept awake at night by a whining female mosquito circling my head.<\/p>\n
Bats are welcome here. They eat mosquitoes. Barn Swallows can live in our barn and in our garage. They eat mosquitoes.\u00a0 I have a net suit that I wear in self defense. It has a hat with a net veil that covers my neck. It has a\u00a0 long sleeve net shirt and net pants. I also have net gloves. If my boys were still at home, I would offer a bounty in hard cash for dead mosquitoes.<\/p>\n
Why two of them made it aboard the Ark, I will never understand. In Texas, all we had were Fire ants.\u00a0 Minnesota mosquitoes are worse.<\/p>\n
