    Oh, man, we got those in my area just a few years ago, and they’re now the only ones we see. They’re so horrible! The bite any time of the day, they bite multiple times, and they leave the most horrid welts.

      Yep they’re awful. Supposedly they carry the nasty diseases too. Good times all around

        Yeah, and they’re so hard to get rid of. The kind we used to have would lay a bunch of eggs in one thing or water, like a flower pot or a bucket or something. If you dumped all that kind of thing out, you’d get rid of them. But these will lay a few eggs here and the in tiny amounts of water, like a cup-shaped leaf that’s sprayed by a sprinkler. And if it dries out before the eggs hatch, they’ll last a very long time until that spot is wet again. It seems impossible to get rid of them.
