Absolutely nothin' Hunghhhhh! We had so much snow this past winter (7 months worth) and have had just as much precip this spring that they're already starting to show up in large numbers here.

mosquito's?!! around here they are the least of my problems. i just plucked two hungry ticks off of me five minutes ago! last month i found lizards under my shirt twice in one week! they love human body heat on the chiily days, obviously.
so bring on your wimpy ol' skeeterz...

 

[bachlover]

I'll see your tick and raise you a horsefly.

Dirty critters...

 

[ZenG]

Birds like them...

 

[mrpackerguy]

Tiny little gnats buzzing your head, your nostrils and your eyes are worse.

Blood sucking vermin. Kind of like divorce attorneys and phlebotomists.

 

[elgecko]

Mosquitos can suck it!

 

[bluesblaster]

ticks can carry lyme disease, I use to live in so. florida so those lizards never really bothered me and gnats were a nuisance unless you had your trusty bottle of skin so soft, however the king of flying pain in the butt is the Horse Fly, bar none. Hate those damn things

Word of advice. You'll see the thermacell mosquito repellers in stores.... don't waste your money. they're worthless. the mosquitoes will land ON the unit when it's on. though they do make nice hand warmers. stick with the deep woods off or other bug repelling spray of choice.

Bat food and fish food. I built a waterfall and fish pond in my back yard - those two things take care of most of the mosquitos.

Skeeters here in FL can suck, but I'll take a swarm of them over the "yaller flies," no repellent works and they know how to find that one square inch of unprotected skin.

Lightbulb, fan and a screen - 1-2 lbs of bugs to feed the chickens in the morning.

I don't know where you live, but here in the NW, I've had very good success using this product every Summer: http://www.mosquitobarrier.com/

If you do use it, one tip I will give you is to strain the liquid through some cheesecloth in order to eliminate the larger bits of garlic that will clog up your garden sprayer. Other than that, mix it up in the proportion they indicate, and then use your garden sprayer to spray it on EVERYTHING. Viola! Your entire property has now become an enormous mosquito barrier!

I've got some sort of brown and white flying beetle in my backyard, about the size of a match head. hurts like a horsefly but doesn't leave a mark.

Speaking of lizards, I'm not too crazy about 'em. Yup, they eat bugs but they're also really attracted to the energy field around 120v AC. I had one climb into my pool heater and crawl across one 120v terminal and a 24v terminal. He shorted my 120v AC through his body causing the current to bypass the transformer and go directly to the 24v side to the control board. In a split second he fried the control panel PCB of my pool heater so I can't heat my pool until I buy another $400 control panel for it. One lizard, $400 damage.

Lizards can be as much a problem as any other pest, IMO.
