Watching clips of the flooding on the tube. Can't help but wonder how La is going to deal with the mosquito problems. It was bad before but what happens now?

Was thinking the same thing. All this standing water isn't going to help. There are still areas where I live that folks can't even get to the house.

I'm in Greenwell Springs and they have exploded here. Can't go outside without getting mobbed. They weren't bad before the flood here.

Hell, I live up here in central Arkansas and the mosquitos have been HORRIBLE over the last few days from the 7-8 inches we've gotten over the last week. I went outside for about 5 minutes an hour ago and counted 12 mosquito bites along my ankles and legs, and this happens every time I go outside.

I can't even imagine what y'all are about to go through down there, bug spray and yard bombs will be in high demand. Also, you can buy some burn spray at the dollar store that'll take away 100% of the itch caused by mosquito bites. It's a lifesaver after you've been bitten up, especially in one particular area like your ankles or arms. At least they have somewhat short lifespans

TLDR: go buy some burn spray from the dollar store if you even suspect that you'll be bitten, and you'll be glad you did

My little girl woke up this morning with about a half dozen bites. She doesnt spend anytime outside to speak of.

Tl,dr

Yep, it will be bad everywhere this year.

You need to turn that little nancy skin of yours into leather, and they'll leave you alone

Strange, there's no mosquito problem in Central Florida. I guess even mosquitos hate it there.

Did you know female mosquitos live between 40-50 days, while males live only 10 days?

Resulting in a huge population of lesbian mosquitos.

After Katrina we had a ton of Predacious mosquitoes and they took them out.
