Mosquitoes!
May 27, 2011 6:29 pm Days of our LivesI don’t know about where you live, but the mosquitoes are terrible here. Usually I can run from the safety of the house to the van and only 2-3 will sneak in the van. A few minutes of swatting, and the van is clear. Not this year.
The other day I killed a dozen mosquitoes after I had gotten in the van. A dozen! Gross!
I prefer not to use pesticides, especially now that we have chickens eating our grass. But enough was enough. And I headed to the local drugstore for some mosquito spray.
One would think the spray would be near the door, since most people are terribly annoyed with mosquitoes this year. But no… I had to ask for it. And then I was given a list of directions that was longer than our trip planner for our last vacation.
“Go down this aisle until you see the stuffed animals. Then go right. If you pass the toothpaste and the over the counter acne pills, you know you’re on the right track. Turn left when you get to the end of that row, and the mosquito spray will be on the bottom shelf behind the dishsoap.”
Argh!
Thankfully I’m pretty good at following directions. And so, when we venture into the great outdoors of our yard, we smell lovely, and remain relatively itch-free.
Happy swatting!
