Default I'm sick of this!!!

Ok, so if you have a garage you may/may not know how it is. But I dont have a garage just a covered area for my car, and thats where I work on it at. Due to the fact that i live out in the middle of fuckin nowhere, their is mosquitos EVERYWHERE!!! It hit like 530 and bam like 8 mosquitos landed on me. I don't know what to do because I worked on my car for like 30 minutes and its so bad I can no longer do anything. Aren't some people in Hillsborough county supposed to like come around and spray for this kind of shit or something??? if so let me know the number because those hoes never come out my way and it pisses me off like a motherfucker! Anyone else have a similar problem when it comes to working on their car at night time?

These things are awesome! I know you wouldnt want to be out there all night swatting away, but being Florida, I'm not surprised about this. They also make these watches that repel them, although I dont know how well they work. Other than that, I guess all you can do is work in the day

Just get some bug repellant gel or spray that goes on you.

Its the only way to be outdoors in some areas of florida.

The government can only keep them in check where there is lots of development and dranage.

If you live on the fringes of civilzation then there are likely to be lots of skeeters where you are at.

See if Walgreens still sells those yellow mosquito repellant medallions. They smell like chemicals from hell and mosquitos hate them.

Having a fan on you is another good idea, but the real agressive Asian Tiger mosquitos probably will laugh at that. Those are the ones that bite you and it raises a water blister within a couple of minutes that looks like you bumped into a barbecue grill or a hot catalytic converter.
