Living surrounded by woods and swampy areas the mosquito problem is
HORRENDOUS. Seriously, I step outside my backdoor and head toward the
flower garden and whammo, they're all over me.

If you think they are bad there, you should go down to the swamps of Louisiana
in the warm part of the year. When I was young I forgot once and tried to go
camping with some friends. We got there just before dark, started setting up the
tent, and I tried starting a fire. I arranged the tinder and lit a candle, but
when I put the candle under it to light it the mosquitos flocked to it so badly
that they extinguished it. They were also attacking us so badly that we gave up
and packed everything up.
