@Kahdae11 We do have a LOT of rain here in Georgia and I am not used to that, having grown up in New England. I don't like rain, and the fact that it brings a lot of mosquitos makes me like it even less.

Slapping yourself in the face is funny. I would have laughed at you had I seen you do that.

@Kouponkaren You should try treating the yard. I like to use Triazicide. Not spectacular but it does do some good. You hook it up the hose and just go. Hit the bushes and shrubs, and any areas where dampness and standing water may be an issue.

@porwest I don't like to use any chemicals around the yard. I had cancer once...don't want to get it again, or take any chances that the dog might get sick. I guess I would rather scratch, and slap myself in the face, LOL, but thanks for the advice.

The mosquitoes are quite annoying. Since I live in the high floor, so I don't experice this kind of annoying so much. Have you used some ways to get rid of the mosquitoes such as some lamps to kill the mosquitoes?

@youless I am glad you are not bothered by them. We do use citronella candles when we are out on our back deck. This mosquito found its way into our home though. We don't use anything inside of our house because usually, they don't come inside.
