Mosquito Question

Have the little B****rs died down a bit, yet?

Looking forward to the CCGP weekend, it could really impact attendance.

Someone who was there over the weekend will be able to tell us.

Yes they have reduced in numbers.  The heat makes them hide in the trees during the day.

Dont be fooled though, they are still very active.

Thanks, Steve

Thanks to Brian Hellevang for giving Al and I some "Ben's" last race weekend. This seemed to be about the only thing that worked consistently for us. It seems to work better than Deep Woods OFF (smells better, too). I'm going to my local Running Room store to try and get some more.

Funny you mention that, as walking the dog last night I saw this dragonfly go right past my face, open it's mouth and eat a mosquito mid-flight. Of course I know that's what they do, but I had never seen it 2 feet away from me!

and now a warning about spraying "off" bug repellent (in the green cans) inside your car - it etches into the plastic and aluminium trim also removes paint.........  works well on killing bugs too...

Ask Bobbie how I know this.........

Anyone have the interior trim for the center consol of a 2004 Mazda 3 for sale?

How are the mosquitoes? They're probably OK at mid-day, but how about the rest of the day?
