Mosquitoes are a function of how much rain there has been and how much breeze there is. So if there has been a lot of rain, then there are bunches of skeeters. I am with you though, I attract them. I tried those Off fan things in December and they didn't do a darn thing. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Mad.gif" alt="" /> I think that the only thing that really works is DEET.
