. Our big problem this year, however, has been mosquitoes, thanks to
excessive heat and humidity. They're so bad this year that we haven't
been able to eat outside the whole summer, and friends who come for a swim
are provided with Cutter anti-mosquito wipes to use when they're not in
the water. Personally, I'm anxiously awaiting the start of winter!

I've had good luck with the OFF brand lanterns with the heat activated
insecticide. They do a 15' area. Works well on the deck or patio, but not
much good for a walk in the woods.
