Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4028436, member: 9260"] ticks and skeeters. during the dry times of late spring this year, i figgered that it would be another summer of below average tick and skeeter populations, like the past few. then, when the rains set in in july, i figgered that those two might jump back. oddly, the ticks didn't to any above average level, but the skeeters are far more directly proportional, and jump back they did ([I]and so did the bats! cool...) [/I]lot's of anomalies going on this season, including the hard science of aboot 40% of white tails having covid antibodies ( [URL='https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/wild-us-deer-found-with-coronavirus-antibodies']Wild U.S. deer found with coronavirus antibodies nationalgeographic.com, [/URL] [URL='https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/study-coronavirus-antibodies-deer/']Did Study Find Coronavirus Antibodies in 40% of US Wild Deer Populations? | Snopes.com[/URL]), and a bunch of other obvious weirdness, but the high skeeter count is very real, and if they present a real problem to anyone, i say nuke 'em (there'll be plenty moar elsewhere for the bats and such to chomp on), tho notwithstanding the regular grey days lately, the water flo has calmed down, and if it stays this way, the skeeters should diminish somewhat, emphasis on 'should' and not 'will.' and by 'nuke 'em,' i mean localized action. not a fogger for a variety of reasons, and zero complaint with anyone who is, but we do luv us some periodic use of deet on ourselves, especially when deep in the jungle/forest, which is was what one can find in coastal Connecticut this time of year. frogs everywhere this season, too, as wasps and hornets seem to be finally waking up. mebbe they'll eat some of those [I]bugs.[/I] [/QUOTE]
