Mosquito Season
Apparently the drought is over and mosquito season is here with a vengeance. This morning Eric and I have been on the phone with probably 10 different people. We have been having a problem with a mosquito infestation around our house, and it just keeps getting worse. Loryn started out with one bite early last week. And Friday night, because the front door kept being opened and closed, she now has close to 20 mosquito bites. She seems to be doing okay. I think she is too young to try to scratch at her arms, but we are now a little concerned about her and ourselves (Eric and I combined have over 30 bites). So I have contacted our county and Code Enforcement, the Health Department, Environmental Health, Epidemia, Public Works and Mosquito Control. Eric called Orkin. Public Works will put a request through Mosquito Control and they will be out in the next 3-5 days. They will assess and treat the area. In the meantime we have been told to buy a small fan for Loryn's room to help circulate the air better (mosquitos can't fly through wind), we are going to buy mosquito plug-ins (suggested by Jeff) and go from there. I am still having a hard time finding baby safe bug spray, if anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.
