In spite of all the rain and standing water we had this past Spring, we seem to not have the mosquitoes one might expect up here in NID. I expected plenty of the little buggers but they pretty much stayed away. Maybe it's just me. Others may have different experiences.

We still need to be aware, MSR....your report is appreciated.

Thanks Bob,

I think it's better to know than assume no problems anywhere in the state.

I was surprised at least 2 of the counties were around Boise metro. They may be because of a larger population or other factors, I don't know.
