My friend and I were just talking about mosquitos today. We decided we aren't bothered by them because of the vitamins we take. I have heard that eating foods rich in vitamin B will act as a repellant to them. Everybody else around here has martin houses. Auralie, are shad flies the same as the black flies in Vermont and New Hampshire? They are the worst!

They're bad here too. Crazy weather. Some people think this is crazy, but 
it works for me.  If you dab vanilla extract (the real thing, not the
imitation)
on your ears and around your eyes, and on other exposed skin, the mosquitoes 
don't bite. What we have that are worse are shad flies, and I have never
found
anything that works for them.

Hi all-
We have a bumper crop of mosquitos this spring. They hover everywhere there is shade, especially by my back door and along the shady side of the house. 
Does anyone know something that will kill off or at least persuade them to
go elsewhere?
Thanks,
Theresa
