Fearing mosquitos-has it rained this week? Are there more?
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2013 1:58 pm
We are arriving next Friday- the 15th and staying through the 26th. I have read on this board that if there are heavy rains one to two weeks before your arrival, the mosquitos will be out. Can anyone tell me if it has rained heavily this past week? We may have to pack more bug repellent.
While we are on the subject, I am wondering if there has been increased mosquito activity over the last thirty years. My wife and I remember sitting outside our cottage at Cinammon Bay at night in February in the 1980's and being surprised that there were never any mosquitos. In the 1990's we switched to April and were staying at condos in town but still no mosquitos on our balcony at night. We have also rented a few villas at Maria Bluff and Hart Bay and again,no bugs. Are we just lucky or is this more anecdotal evidence of climate warming?
Please answer someone so I can stay on the board- otherwise I have to look out the window and watch the blizzard getting worse.
