 But we will spray,mist, fog, swat and use a bow and arrow if necessary.  It may smell funny for a while, but THIS IS FLORIDA!  With the sucking ability they have they can be considered mammals.  Bats are a natural preditor of them, but I m short on bats (not the cork filled ones either).  We get people asking, no begging us to fog their campsite and even have us offered $$ to fog it for them. Most people here do spray their site and area.  Mosquitos are disease carring insects and should be treated as such.  Would you let a rabid animal camp with you and your family? I bet not.  Its all the same when you consider the situation.
 
 I guess it may depend on where you camp.  You may live where it may not be a problem.  But I have never seen a warm fuzzy mosquito on a leash and in my book they do not need protected under some program.  We have tried all the wives tale theorys too.  They do land on catnip plants as well as citronella bushes.
 
 If your not bothered by them where you camp, so be it.  But protect your family and pets, not the disease laden insects.

 Ab DiverLast time we camped was the first time I ve ever seen someone spraying their site.  The funny part was, they set-up, sprayed, then left to go across the road to someone elses site and never seen them back that night.
 
 We have never sprayed/fogged, but since this year, I ve been eaten up so bad, I bought fogger -- just in case it gets bad again.  I camp to be outside, but lately it s been so bad, that I have to stay indoors.
 
 We leave for camping on Thurs again, so I m prepared to see if it helps.
