Leave Mosquito Bites In The Past
I spent my childhood summers and long weekends in the interior of British Columbia in a cabin by a fishing lake… basically “Mosquito Country”.
I’ll always remember the stickiness and the horrible smell of the mosquito spray that my mom layered on us. If only we’d had ThermaCELL back then!
(This photo was taken about 1979 at our cabin. That’s Janice in the red coat, and I’m the other twin in the blue. We’re with our mom, brother and sister. Our father was taking the photo.)

They bother me the most at night in our backyard patio area.

In my backyard when my daughter is playing in her sandbox
The mosquitoes keep me from enjoying my patio!
On my patio in the summer.
As I am trying to sit on my back porch!!!!
The mosquitoes really bother me on the back porch-deck area! I need a Thermacell Patio Lantern to kill these bugs!!
On the back porch, or while camping.
The bother us the most in the evening when we sitting outside on our patio.
in my garden
Usually when I least expect it such as standing at the post office on one of the hottest days
Here in the mountains of North Carolina, mosquitoes start showing up around June and they are everywhere! The worst time of the day is around sunset and dusk. We use tiki torches when we sit on the deck and wear long sleeves, thankfully, it does get much cooler at night. 🙂
It’s almost ALWAYS here in MN! But dusk is absolutely the worst. Campfires at our house require a good layer of bug spray!

They bother me the most at dusk! It stinks because I feel like I have to hide indoors!
In the evening. My backyard is full of them
Right around my house are a lot of trees. Mosquitos are real bad.

Anywhere near large bodies of water.

Backyard at night
Everywhere! With all the rain we’ve been getting, they are especially heavy this year:(
In my back yard!
the back porch
Mosquitoes and biting black flies bother me right here at my own home, it is hard to even enjoy the outside deck in the late afternoon, I guess that is what I get for living in the woods.
before dusk everywhere around here
The worst place for them are in my back yard.That happens to be where my garden and my clothesline are.They eat me up!
They bothered us on vacation at the lake.

anywhere. my little one is allergic and swells like I have never seen before!
evening around 7pm when relaxing with family outside
They usually bug us in the evenings in our backyard. We have a stream that runs through our backyard so there is always some mosquito’s near by.
They are the worst at night in the summer, especially if it rained earlier in the day.
While camping and sitting outside at night
Every night in our backyard!
We get the most mosquitoes in our back yard. Our yard backs up against what used to be an empty lot. There was a duplex built on part of it, but they don’t always keep the grass and brush cut down bordering on our lot. Too many places for mosquitoes to breed and hide there.
They are worst in the evenings when I take the dog out for a walk.
they usually bother me at night in the summer.
Every year when we go camping the Mosquitos are the worse. I’m glad I found this solution I hate spraying myself and kids with chemicals this seems like a better alternative.
Our yard in the afternoon, they are the size of helicopters.
My deck is where I unwind but keep jumping up for the repellent spray
Thanks 4 the offer

Mosquitos bother me the most when i am out in the backyard relaxing.
Anytime I go outside in the grass or in the woods, they bother me.
Our Mosquitos have been horrible this year in our backyard! Poor little Carter has had so many bites when we try to go outside and play. Its worse at night…but they are always out there! Just horrible this year.
They are awful in Wisconsin. If you are in the woods or as soon as the sun goes down, they get you bad. I can’t stand them. I can’t even run through our beautiful woods right now because they will eat me all gone!
In my backyard at night.
At night and in my backyard, those little suckers come for blood! 🙂
The mosquitoes are terrible in our backyard around sunset. My ankles are the first place they go for. And they don’t seem to bother my husband or son, just me.

Mostly in the evenings.
At the lake. Can’t even enjoy the water

Mosquitos tend to bug me most in the evening. We play on the trampoline which is by the woods and there is just so many of them!!
I had horrible experiences while fishing with my dad, at the beach and the parks, I’d always end up covered with mosquito bites. They are the worst since I scratch them uncontrollably at night and end up with bloody, scabby legs and arms in the morning.
Out on our deck is the worst for me!!
All I have to do is walk outside to get attacked no matter what time of day it is. I know this is unrealistic, but, I think if mosquitoes had telepathy, a loud call into the wild (or cell phones (ha-ha)), they communicate to each other that the target has appeared and its time to attack.
In the evening when I am trying to take care of my plants.
At night on the patio.
They bother me most when I go hiking in the summer
They really bother us I’m the evening/night time. It’s been so bad here lately we can’t even enjoy sitting on our porch!

They bug me most when we are out in the evening and at summer events.
Oh the mosquitoes here are huge and attack without provocation all they need is a little shade and they are out by the hundreds for the buffet on my family. A 15 x 15 foot safe zone would be the entire back deck which would be perfect.

Mosquitos bother me the most when I am camping and hanging out outside. The evening time is the worst. Thanks.
The question for me should be ‘When and where do mosquitoes NOT bother you the most?’! Seriously, they love me. If I even step out of the house to get meat off the grill, I get a bite. No one else will get one bite and I will get 12 just sitting outside for an hour on the patio. So this year I vowed to try even harder to make them go away. I use essential oils, mosquito spray, and take odorless garlic pills twice a day. So far this summer, I have only had 3 bites!
Usually August and September here in Washington state.
they bother me most when we are at the lake
Everywhere!!! We have gotten a ton of rain this year in MN and the annoying jerks are everywhere! You can’t even go outside! When will Science figure out a way to wipe them off the planet?
