Had some visitors I have not had in months smoking outside my house this evening. I guess 'winter' is over here in south Florida.
![]() I need to find a decent solution that allows me to stay cool (ie no long sleeves/ pants) Funny, up north the cold keep you guys from smoking often outdoors, whereas down here the summer is going to cut my smoking way back. Guess I'll be at my B&M more and more pretty soon. |

They are popping up in Louisiana too. I use citronella candles which help some.

The only thing that works is lighting up four Dunhill Cabinettas and placing them around you. Nothing else works. It works, but I'm getting pretty low.
![]() Seriously though, they must have been hibernating and living of their fat reserves and now they are HUNGRY and nothing will get in their way, because the cigar smoke is not working. I'm looking like a raisin at the moment. |

Here's an interesting article for you (by the University of Florida no less!)
http://news.ufl.edu/2005/05/19/mosquito-traps/ I especially like the part where the scientist says "He is concluding a study that showed CO2 traps were significantly outperformed by traps that used live hosts as bait." I guess what you need to do is lure an unsuspecting victim to your smoking area and hope that their blood is sweeter than yours! ![]() |

I thought all you guys had screened in patios to keep them critters out? Heck, I've seen what looked like entire yards in Florida that were screened in. Doesn't it work?

I usually smoke on my porch which is screened. Works great for the mosquitos, but the dang no see ums barely notice the screen.

The mosquitos I can tolerate if they are not too bad. What I hate are the GNATS.

As far as the gnats go, the Drill Instructors and permanant personnel at Parris Island had a trick to dealing with them, they used Skin So Soft from Avon. It kept the sand fleas (gnats, noseeums) away from them and on the recruits where they belonged.

It's that time of year again. Mosquitoes and gnats are bad in the south. I didn't think that the mosquitoes ever went away in Florida. You guys have mosquitoes the size of dump trucks down there.

I am in the process of getting quotes for a screened back porch for this very reason. I am sick of getting eaten up while enjoying a good cigar and drink at night.
