Hmmm... I can't see either. I'll be watching and observing a bit if I can. |

So far the thing I love most is the lack of mosquitoes. It's nice to be able to watch the beautiful sunset without being eaten alive.

Don't know where you live in CO, but Colorado had its first two confirmed cases of West Nile Disease announced today. It is spread by mosquito bites. |

I have yet to see one single mosquito. Or fleas. My dog is really happy. Back in Ohio I had to constantly keep him on expensive flea medication. So far this year, i haven't found one single flea on him.

I heard a story on the news about the West Nile and they said the mosquitoes are just starting to come out. I have sat outside and seen them myself, plus my patients have been calling in with concerns about mosquito bites and West Nile.

I sure have been seeing them around here for the last couple of months. I bought some Liquid Fence and sprayed around my yard the other day. Plus got a little sample of their insect repellent on a cloth. Used that tonight. So far I haven't seen any more, but we shall see how good the stuff is.
I really hate those little blood suckers!

My backyard was so bad in Ohio that 10 minutes before dusk if you were out you would be eaten alive. I counted 14 bites in 10 minutes, and that isn't including the ones I smacked and killed before they could bite.
