How bad are the mosquitoes for you recently?
Okay, before I begin here, let me say that I know I am very privileged to own my own home, and property.
I just want to ask you all though, how bad are the mosquitoes around your homes right now?
I live about a kilometer west of Riverside Park, and the mosquitoes in my backyard are so out of control that I can't stay outside for more than a few minutes in the evening/night.
They are some of the worst mosquitoes I've ever seen, and I've gone camping in Muskoka in June. I just came in from watering my flowers this evening, and I counted, I have 28 bites. If you were to go stand my backyard in shorts and a t-shirt you would have four or five on you at any given time.
I'm trying to figure out if this is just my neighborhood, if this is just Guelph, or is there something going around my house to make the mosquitoes so bad...
I personally have a regular looking property, with grass that I keep relatively short, and a few flower beds, so I'm not sure what's doing it.
I know mosquitoes like to lay eggs and standing stagnant water, so maybe one of my neighbors has a fish pond or something that they have neglected...
Just wondering how bad it is for you. Thank you.
