I must say that it's very satisfying to see those horrid things end up in the mosquito magnet. Even if it's only a few, that's still a few less in the World after my blood (which they consider to be a local delicacy.)

It's too soon to know whether the magnet is really working 'as advertised', ie breaking the breeding cycle, and by the time that I should be able to tell the mosquito season will be all but over anyway. But I didn't get bitten today despite spending a few hours in the garden this afternoon, so maybe...

As a side note, the many ant / spider bites I picked up camping in NJ during the week of the DNC are still itching occasionally. I react badly...
