Skeeters....

How do I get rid of them or keep them at bay? It's been a constant bombardment since we got that 3.5in of rain. As in, you hear them swarming.

It probably doesn't help that the road to a gas well turned into a dam and created a new stagnant 15-20' deep pond with no outflow other than evaporation after that rain...

But seriously... I'm killing 50+ on me per hour... I come in looking almost like I'm broke out in hives and covered in mosquito blood...

You can say it out loud, and to my face. I can take it.

 

[ignerntbend]

That's actually a real piece of advise.

Mosquitoes are a public health issue. Is there a county public health department?

Don't be a big government guy.

Look into bats or purple martins. Other than that chemicals might slow them down.

Ok, sorry...

How about asking the oil field company to get out there with a pump set and drain the swamp they created?

I learned that we had a small malaria outbreak in central Oklahoma last year.

Maybe they didn't let themselves get bit enough?
