mosquito

Enjoyment of the Great Outdoors can sometimes be hampered by those pesky little mosquitoes. Stopping the itch from the bites they leave behind often requires regularly re-applying medication, which you might not have with you on an outdoor adventure...

The mosquitoes are terrible right now, you can't be outside for more than a couple of minutes before a swarm of the pesky bugs start digging into your flesh trying to get at that yummy blood of yours. I've been thinking about deploying a bug zapper in by backyard to battle the pests, but do they work?

We all know how mosquito season is in Minnesota, basically all summer long. For those of you who are allergic to an average mosquito bite, fingers crossed the Asian Tiger Mosquito does not take residence anytime soon.

Be gone pesky mosquito, your stinger is powerless against my super bug trap. Don't we all wish we could say that? Well, now maybe that will be the case.

After an incredibly wet spring and subsequent heat wave, conditions are ripe for a bumper mosquito crop in 2012. This has health officials worried that there will be an uptick in mosquito-transmitted diseases like West Nile Virus. The first case of this virus has just popped up in St. Louis County, beginning what could be a busy season.

Everyone knows that the mosquito should actually be the State Bird of MN and boy the season will be upon us soon.
